At Smart Sustainable Sensuous Settlements Transformation Conference, which was held at TU Munich 7-8 March 2018, Darko presented parts of the latest work on quality of urban life in the paper Towards Redefinition of Urban Quality - the subversive pleasures of encounters with water (co-authored with Professor Davisi Boontharm, Meiji University, and Hisamu Yamamori, co+labo). In response to the flow of the Conference, Darko's talk itself consisted of seven digressions to the paper, which were aimed at focusing discussion at the need for true interdisciplinarity in urbanism. Several excerpts from those polemological interventions are presented in the selection of slides, below.
