Abstract

Looking at the work of Karl August Wittfogel and Mikhail Okhitovich, this paper explores the infrastructural elements of the disurbanist architectural movement. Specifically, it inquires into the political potentials of the nomadism that was enabled by new media and transportation technologies around 1930.
