The blogging duo behind Pop-Up City hope to raise $10,000 for The Pop-Up City Book: City Making in a Fluid World. The 260-page book will contain 150 illustrated projects.
They plan to publish the finished book in April 2014. We’ve embedded a video about the project above. Here’s more from the Kickstarter page:
“We, Jeroen Beekmans and Joop de Boer, are the brains and hearts of The Pop-Up City, an Amsterdam-based blog that showcases eye-opening ideas, concepts and trends that make a change in the city of today and tomorrow. On a daily basis, we write stories about individuals, enterprises, and cities all around the world that come up with refreshing ideas and solutions to deal with a permanent stage of change, ranging from urban hacks, modular hotels, and parasite cinemas to pop-up retail concepts, rooftop farms, and houses on wheels.”
