"Paul Virilio: Resistance to technology and the recovery of the body"
Author: JUAN CARLOS SANCHEZ TAPPAN
International University of Catalunya, 2021.

I propose four key terms: The “Bunker”, his research of the Atlantic coast-wall; the “Oblique,” his collaboration with Claude Parent (1963-1968) and their built work based on a new slanted order; “Dromology” and “Ultracity” as a continuous thread through which P.V., resists the increasing speed of communication technologies and the recovery of the body. I coin the term “Hypercity” to face the urbanisation of technologies, and for their humanisation in search for more sustainable and healthy environments.
