My research consists of enquiry published internationally in two aspects: on the one hand literary & critical writing, & on the other architecture & urbanism. The thesis which runs through all my work is that literary & critical writing has a direct, specific & particular influence on civil & political, & ultimately spatial formations. My field ‘Urban Literature’ is constituted by an examination of all forms of writing that are involved in the creation of the city including critical & fictional, & indeed examining the narratives of the city constructed not just via more conventional forms of writing but in & through artistic practice, law, political & social activism, music & performance.
