Rebel Bodies Rebel Cities

Authors: Victor Cano Ciborro + Mansi Shah
Rebel Bodies Rebel Cities is a teaching and research project born from recognising complexities and self-organised systems within urban public spaces and the importance of recognising these dynamics to create more inclusive and equitable urban environments. For its first case study, fifteen students from the B.UD at CEPT University work in Bhadra Fort Precincts, Ahmedabad, India. The book lays pedagogy taking students through three modules – one: Narrative cartographies, two: Performances and finally, the design that reflects on the context and the resistances. Throughout all the modules, drawing is a fundamental instrument to understand the physical environment and materialise ideas and thoughts. This book disseminates our approach, learnings and creative design interventions by students based on critical analysis of problems.
