30 January 2009, Master class with the Urban Think Tank: the Informal City, International New Town Institute, Almere, The Netherlands

The Urban Think Tank is a multi-disciplinary design practice led by the Venezuelan Alfredo Brillembourg and Austrian Hubert Klumpner. Their working area is the informal city. ”The Informal City makes up 50% of the main urban areas in the global south but has completely fallen outside of the architectural and urbanistic attention.
