The Manifesto of Urban Cannibalism (www.urbanibalism.org) announces an ongoing project by Wietske Maas and Matteo Pasquinelli, which explores an extended notion of urban and architectural metabolism. While a previous version was declared in Amsterdam, this new declaration was performed at the Sophiensaele Theatre, Berlin, 5 July 2012. It appears here in print in the Australian Design Review AR 128: New Civic Realms — on a layout of fleshsome marble and granite. Now, read on and become drunk on earth!
