School of Missing Studies

 - School of Missing Studies
This publication presents the goals and objectives of the The School of Missing Studies—a collaborative and experimental platform study on urbanism in transition.
The School of Missing Studies started in 2003 as an initiative of artists and architects who recognized “the missing” as a matter of urgency. Investigating what culture(s) laid the foundations for the loss we are experiencing from modernization and how this loss can talk back to us as a potential site of learning, the School of Missing Studies is calling for a space to turn existing knowledge against itself to affect our capacity to see things otherwise, to trust that seeing, and to set one's own pedagogical terms.
