Three Ecologies and Economies: Kharkov, Gulin, Accra

The subject of this studio is a dialogue between Kharkiv, Ukraine, Gulin, China, and Accra, Ghana. It contrasts three urban centers within the contexts Europe, Asia, demonstrating that these old cultural centers are entering new phases of redevelopment related in part to that cultural heritage. While all are entering significant periods of economic development, they feature sharply contrasting circumstances. In each city, the study focuses on carefully chosen elements within the overall redevelopment contexts.
