This lecture is also part of the side program accompanying the exhibition Raphaël Zarka 'Gibellina'.
The Knight's Move is a series of lectures by eminent
international speakers who stand out by their unusual, enlightening and
inspirational visions concerning the city, urbanity, the public domain,
and community. Just as the knight moves in an atypical and unusual way
across the chessboard, Stroom Den Haag likewise wants to cut across all
disciplines and thus stimulate rethinking the city.
Media partner of this series of lectures is: De Groene Amsterdammer
The Knight's Move is made possible by the Netherlands Architecture Fund.
