The Next Generation: The New Urbanists

That is the creative live in Barcelona, Berlin, London, New York, Paris, Tokyo – the “new urbanists”: Francesca Gavin visits apartments and houses of artists, designers, authors, curators, photographers, stylists, set designers, film-makers and illustrators– from those creative from the international metropolises which lend her face to the contemporary cultural scene and art scene. The introduced living rooms grant not only insights into the formative aesthetics of the creative scene, but also in the most internal being of different cities all over the world, from Berlin to Tokyo. Quite differently than the infertile residential style of the minimalism these apartments of ingenuity, creative chaos and spontaneity testify; they overflow with post modern collector’s items of the pop culture, trashy vintage findings, colored toys collections, Underground art and all kinds of droll and even manufactured properties. So individually the rooms are in which all these personalities live and work, nevertheless, they show parallels and resemblances over and over again and represent the avant-garde scene of the early 21-st century.
