Once the different initiatives are defined, the process is completed by the population crowd funding its own initiatives.</p></em><br /><br /><p> Winka Dubbeldam (Archi-Tectonics) and Rodrigo Nino (Prodigy Network) have developed<strong> Downtown Bogot&aacute; // My Ideal City</strong>, an online platform for the citizens of Bogot&aacute; to influence their local city-planning proposals. Recognizing that middle-class population growth across Latin America often outpaces the speed of urban development, My Ideal City responds to the demand for bottom-up planning measures. If successful, the online-platform could be implemented across the globe.</p> <p> Visit the <a href="http://www.miciudadideal.com/en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">My Ideal City</a> platform.</p> <p> The exhibition showcasing My Ideal City will be on display at <a href="http://www.aedes-arc.de/sixcms/detail.php?template_id=2122" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Architekturforum Aedes</a> in Berlin, Germany, through August 29, 2013.</p> https://archinect.com/news/article/79373548/mathias-klotz-the-poetics-of-boxes-exhibit-opens-next-month Justine Testado 2013-08-13T16:25:00-04:00 >2018-01-30T06:16:04-05:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/vr/vrek1a275xbd1jxj.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p> "The Poetics of Boxes" is the first monographic exhibit in Europe of the work of Mathias Klotz, currently one of Chile's most acclaimed international architects.
