Excursion B EX–MOS / Madina Cherchesova & Leonid Slonimskiy
Moscow is the biggest city on the European continent. In the course of time, it has gathered the most radical and unique examples of architecture, from the time of the zars, over Constructivism and Stalinism to contemporary architecture.

Studio Bangkok / Bart Lootsma & Kanokwan Trakulyingcharoen
The future of architecture is in Asia, not in Europe. Asian cities are growing at a speed unknown to Europe. Because of this, new urban planning methods, or the lack of them, develop.

Architectural Theory M / Bart Lootsma
Over the last twenty years new technologies have changed our lives. Also the urban landscape changed immensely.
