American urban planner and designer Damon Rich examines the links among politics, architecture, and history. His research analyses the evolution of the real estate market – foreclosures, mortgages, construction and zoning. He is also a collaborator of the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP), an organization based in Brooklyn that studies movements within cities and their motivations.

Liquidated Architecture is part of a series of lectures and films presented in conjunction with the exhibition Actions: What You Can Do With the City (2008), which explores public actions in urban environments and their impact on contemporary society.
