Sliding Friction: The Harmonious Jungle of Contemporary Cities
It has finally arrived! After months of fun labor, Nicolas and Fabien released
Sliding Friction: The Harmonious Jungle of Contemporary Cities
. This pamphlet assembles photos and annotations we took here and there along our dérive through the many cities they lived in and visited. Sliding Friction is an attempt to showcase the curious aspects of contemporary urban spaces. Through 15 topics and 4 themes they focus their lenses on the sparkles generated by the many frictions between ideas, practices and infrastructures that populate cities. They hope to provide some raw food for thoughts to consider the city of the future. Do we want to mitigate, or even eliminate these frictions?
