Description

NeTHCA (Network for Theory, History, and Criticism of Architecture) is a group of researchers, teachers and practitioners concerned with architecture and the city. Founded in 1998, neTHCA organizes and supports initiatives intended to stimulate high-quality research and critical debate in the field, notably through biennial
international colloquia: Inside Density (1999), Tourism Revisited (2001), Critical Tools (2003) and The Unthinkable Doctorate (2005).

The call for papers for the "Inside Density" colloquium, organised by NeTHCA in November 1999, evoked papers addressing issues of density, congestion and networking. The aim of the colloquium was to explore the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of density and to criticize the naive use of density indexes as markers of good planning. The colloquium brought together an international range of renowned scholars, promising young researchers and practising architects.
