Walks in Progress: Pursuing Work (Der Arbeit nachgehen)
Buildings and images of work in the postfordist city


Factory, depot, working-class estate: powerful images of work from days of yore. But what are the architectures for networked, immaterial or affective labor like? 'Atypical employment', 'outsourcing' and 'franchising', teleworking, labour migration - these are the buzzwords for a changed world of work, directly impacting life concepts, daily routines and urban modes of use. At the same time, the city itself is changing, too, with inner cities, for example, becoming tourist service zones and industrial regions becoming Creative Cities. As a result of visiting, playing and questioning collective sites of work, our individual everyday work experiences also come up for discussion.
