When the Earth Breathes: An Anthology of Volcanic Urbanism by Carucci Alvarez, Maria Gabriela

“…Through ten allegories, cities are positioned inside of the geological realm, and are de-centered to contextualize them within a volcano’s lifespan. The first five stories describe the current framework, while the other half become allegories through which architecture and urbanism are leveraged as tools through which to understand the earth’s movements at different scales, temperatures and states of matter, in order to provide an alternative imaginary to current answers to the question of volcanic urbanism.…”
