Facing the neo-liberalisation of the city, "the furtive monument" is a path across the city, combining programs of the body, the mind and the politics, in order to reach a state of empowerment. Based on a situationist drift, architectural interventions transform the way the city of Rotterdam is experienced, not based on profit but based on programmatic activations. If the city is a generic cadaver, the project has the ambition to revive its soul from its carcass, extracting its qualities, disrupting the systems in place and re-assembling its components. The city, seen as programmatic intensities, states that architecture doesn’t have to be built.
