THE INSTRUMENTS OF PERPETUAL REVOLUTION

Dan Dubowitz is the acting postgraduate programme leader in Architecture at Glasgow School of Art. A practising architect and artist he has pioneered over the last 20 years a new approach to embedding cultural transformation into city-scale developments which has become known as cultural masterplanning. His work challenges the way things are normally done by devising cultural interventions from the bottom up whilst the bigger picture emerges. This is all part of a choreography of civic projects that engage neighbourhoods in the transformation of their city. Dan’s practice-research has ranged from collaborating with the World Monument Fund and UNESCO on international cultural sites at risk, to fine art photography projects. His long-term photographic works Wastelands, Fascism in Ruins, and Megalomania have been published and exhibited across Europe and the US.
