Neville Mars (NL)
The body of work architect Neville Mars has achieved in the last
ten years is both very diverse and highly characteristic. The
projects he has initiated range from art, architecture,
documentaries, video-installations, urban research and writing. His
work is widely published and presented and his art installations
have featured in several international exhibitions and art
festivals. The foundation of his work is a deep passion for the
metropolis and a profound understanding of the urban context and
its cultural and technical workings. In 2003 Neville outlined a
comprehensive research project to map the rapid urbanization of
China until 2020; for this project he initiated the Beijing based
Dynamic City Foundation (DCF;
www.dynamiccity.org). In a broad team
of designers and researchers the rapid urbanization of China is
mapped. The work is produced and published on the DCF platform
http://BURB.tv - the world's first open-source E-book dedicated to
the enhancement of China's cities.
