Citadel

Citadel proposed ecological, alternate mechanised cities in transit, which evade the authority of traditional infrastructure and class. The exhibition included a scaled model of a moving city, an audio piece authored by Gurcim Yilmaz, drawings, collages and public engagement events.

The 1960s cold war era witnessed Ron Herron's idea of 'Walking Cities', conceived as 'arks' that would provide post-apocalyptic protection to surviving communities. As opposed to Heron's revolutionary attitude, Citadel depicts a slowly evolving socialist utopia, a consequence of automation.
