Review: "Pamphlet Architecture 29: Ambiguous Spaces, Naja & deOstos features The Pregnant Island and Nuclear Breeding. These two projects develop alternative urban concepts that address the challenges presented by the specific situations and social dynamics described in controversial locations such as the Brazilian Tucurui Dam and a former English nuclear test site. Using narrative techniques, fictional programs, and building devices, Ambiguous Spaces explores people, communities, and even entire cities oppressed by a lack of freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
