The Universal Declaration of Urban Rights is included in Arquia/próxima 2012. nuevos formatos, a publication edited by Fundación Arquia as part of the arquia/otras ediciones collection.
The catalogue brings together a selection of works from the 2010-2011 edition of the arquia/próxima programme, a cultural initiative conceived to support Spanish architects in their early years of professional practice by giving visibility to their projects, working methods and principles.
Under the title new formats, this edition gathers practices that explore other ways of understanding contemporary architecture: open processes, collective tools, situated research, cultural devices and projects that expand the field of action of the discipline.
The presence of Urban Rights in this publication places the Declaration within a generation of practices that understands architecture not only as the production of buildings, but also as a way of constructing languages, rights, spaces for conversation and new possibilities for civic action.
The volume, published in Spanish, includes 532 pages and black-and-white illustrations.
