Jakarta - Bali | November 21, 2011

In the second half of November, MovingCities was back in Indonesia. On the agenda a couple of disclosed meetings, a lot being on-the-move, spending few days in Jakarta and connecting with old and future friends. The results? Pay attention to future publications and projects on this site. For now, time for flying, from Jakarta to Denpasar (the province capital of Bali) and aerophotography. read more »

Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport New Terminal | November 8, 2011

Last week MovingCities resided in Shenzhen 深圳 to work on a project we hope to inform you soon more about. To us, flying means aerophotography, means measuring progress, seeing land reclamation projects turn into airports, having flash-backs to 2009 when the city was working on preparing the grounds for its new airport. Today, the Fuksas Future is almost there. read more »

Lisbon >> Brussels

The United Spiderwebs of Europe | September 2, 2011

Moving around is our raison d’être. Sometimes we are here; more than often we are there. We’re strangers to some cities, inhabitants of others. We’re living in an actual world, in the reality of the runway and enjoy the freedom, and luxury, of flying. We leave and return. Flying from the South of Europe to the Middle of Europe, from Lisbon to Brussels, we indulged in aerophotography. People around us reacted nervous to the sound of the shutter: it was summer, the time of the year tourists move around en masse. read more »

Jakarta >> Surabaya

Surabaya, Indonesia | July 4, 2011

It is always dangerous to draw conclusions from capital cities. The pressure from politics, foreign and domestic companies, even from local and international cultural critics,… all come into play when dealing with cities such Brussels, Beijing 北京, Johannesburg or Stockholm. If Jakarta is all about traffic jams, sheds, skylines and shopping-malls, how would the rest of the Indonesian cities look like? On July 4, MovingCities took a one hour flight from Jakarta to Surabaya, a 3 million-inhabitants port city, capital of the province of East Java and the main seaport and commercial center in the eastern region of Indonesia.

Xi’An >> Shanghai

Xi'An | May 31, 2011

There is more to tell and show about our explorations in Xi’an 西安 than what we posted so far. But after barely 30 hours in the city, it was time to move-on, to take off and have a last glimpse of the city from the window seat. It’s again aerophotography-time, from Xi’an 西安 to Shanghai 上海. One can’t help but feel primitive and wish that Airbus speeds up its production and gives us the high of transparent traveling. MovingCities can’t wait untill its 2050 and explore some decent Airbus-aerophotography. read more »
