'In Via Veritas' introduces anew paragidgm to the thinking on architecture and urbanism. The 'route' (via in Latin) allows for a different way of looking at space. A place does not function on its own, it is a result of movement, relationships, streams and processes. The route is no infrastructure, but is above all cultural, societal, economic and politically defined. Routes tell something about the use of a place. They create meaning and identity.
