The aim of the project is to study Tbilisi as urban assemblage where human – nonhuman, infrastructure – nature,
formal – informal, public – private, past - present are entangled and constitute each other. The
project will analyze layers of architecture, infrastructure, and landscape and their multiple relations from the
interdisciplinary perspective. Adopting Actor Network Theory approach the project will concentrate on 1. LifeWorlds and Infrastructure of Tbilisi, and 2. Landscape: Domesticated and Undomesticated Nature of Urban
Spaces. The city in the 20th and 21st centuries will be studied as assemblage of changing attitudes towards nature
and by the response of the nature to human changes. The main methods include ethnography, interviews, archival
research, anthropology of architecture, and computational analysis. The project will analyze and create
visualization of layers (neighborhoods, infrastructure, and landscape/’waterscape’) as something overlapping and
mutually constitutive
