Abstract
Overly pragmatic conceptions of the city pose a threat to the urban public realm. The Surrealist view offers an alternative. It is explored here by architectural theorist and historian Dagmar Motycka Weston, Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, through the work of the Greek‐Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico, which posits other ways to conceive of cities – particularly in relation to the German Romantic notion of ‘moody attunement’ (Stimmung).
