Binational Urbanism examines the way of life of people who start a second life in a second city in a second nation-state, without saying goodbye to their first city. They live in constant transit between two homes, between two countries. Binational urbanists come from all strata of society, from the highly educated and cosmopolitan creative classes to the working class. Through their continuous change of location, binational urbanists appear to be living in a state that is characterized by a constant longing, or a constant homesickness, for the other city.<\/p>\n<p>The book mentioned in the interview: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Modern-Man-Corbusier-Architect-Tomorrow\/dp\/1491529393\">Modern Man: The Life of Le Corbusier, Architect of Tomorrow<\/a>, Author: Anthony Flint<\/p>\n<p>Click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.monu-magazine.com\/order.htm\">here to get the magazine.<\/a><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4734\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4734\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4734 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Image-3_Upmeyer_Floating-theatre.jpg?resize=625%2C413&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"image-3_upmeyer_floating-theatre\" width=\"625\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Image-3_Upmeyer_Floating-theatre.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Image-3_Upmeyer_Floating-theatre.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Image-3_Upmeyer_Floating-theatre.jpg?resize=768%2C508&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Image-3_Upmeyer_Floating-theatre.jpg?resize=624%2C413&amp;ssl=1 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design for a floating theatre on the river Spree in Berlin, Germany<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interview\/BerndUpmeyer.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listBernd Upmeyer is a Germany-born and Rotterdam-based architect and urbanist.
