Yona Friedman is renowned as an influential figure in the avant-garde urbanism movement of the 1960s. His most notable contribution is the idea of a Spatial City, also known as “La Ville Spatiale” (1956), which aimed to offer the utmost flexibility through the use of “megastructures” placed above existing cities and other locations. The inhabitants would have the opportunity to design their own living spaces within these structures. Friedman’s goal was to equip people from all corners of the world with the tools and foundational structures necessary to shape their own living environments, empowering them with greater independence and self-reliance.
