Description

RED LUXEMBOURG. The red colour of the soil in the south of Luxembourg. The red colour of the labour history in this post-industrial region. The red colour in the spatial planning instruments to guide urban development in Luxembourg. In an era when ‘the urban’ has been turned into a (nearly) global condition and ‘mixture’ in the city is synonymous with having a coffee bar, a supermarket and a car-sharing system at the centre of dense realestate development, we believe it is time to grow wary and to strengthen suspicion. A series of probing essays and an project proposal explore what RED LUXEMBOURG should be about, and what it could look like, gradually evolving towards a closer co-existence between man and nature.
