In W-Z Divisible City, a series of stories about cities are rold, stories that come together to make up a complex narration of a single place. Envisioned as a companion to Warszawa: projects for the post-socialist city (Edinburgh 2009), this volume - part fiction, part picture book, part urban guide - builds up a sequence of texts and images through whose interplay the enigmatic life of a contemporary city can be glimpsed. Produced by the graduate students of the Master of Architecture programme at the University of Edinburgh as a reflective study in fieldwork, this assemblage of texts and images offers a new kind of portrait of the city, constantly escaping us even as we grasp it, one that shows how the opennes of the quotidian can engage the imagination. This kaleidoscopic 'travelogue,' a homage to Italo Calvino's thoughts about cities, documented glimpses of Warsaw visited in October of 2007. Gathered together for this volume more than a decade later, it becomes a recollection, no longer an archive of impressions that informed the studio projects for the post-socialist city, but a collective afterimage of a singular moment in time. This assemblage is opened onto the continuing transformations of Warsaw by a series of returns that revist images, texts, objects and places in and of the city, setting in motion new readings and new forms and sites of inquiry. W-Z: Divisible City will be important to those with an interest in representation and the city, and, more specifically, with the role of image and narrative in the process of urban and architectural design.
