"Corner envisioned this staged, biannual event as an attractor for people, the press, and media, who would flock to the town in its off season, inhabiting the newly created commons on the harbor front to watch the ship’s spectacular movements." - Shane #architecturalhistory

Would this ever work?

"the Industrial Revolution altered this delicate ecological and agrarian balance of village around a commons. They dreamt of merging the Industrial City with the old landscape tradition of small scale, complementary town and country developments" - Shane #architecturalhistory

"How should once mighty cities shrink and
die back into the landscape?" - Shane #architecturalhistory

"Detroit’s ascent began as a compact city in Phase 1, “Taylorization Takes Command,” with the invention of the mass production line, multi-story factories in the Detroit inner-city industrial belt." - Shane #architecturalhistory

"Then there was the “fried egg” city, where railways
stretched the city’s perimeter in linear,
accelerated, space-time corridors out
into the landscape, resulting in a star
shape." - Shane Love that description #architecturalhistory

@WojcikPaige Its wilds how we as a country can claim that there is no segregation yet looking at these cities and overall infrastructure of the country it is still ever present

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

@CladyKelsey Using a kit of parts to create many different cities

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

@CladyKelsey This goes back to SEJ and Dotson's fourth world theory, I don't think there is an easy answer and there definitely is not one that everyone will agree on, yet we all think something needs to be done.

@naw_assumpta Common ground to one is just an opinion, as it is said it takes two to tango

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

@AbigailBulmahn @MaclarenRanste1 I think that they have to learn from past designs and past iterations of problem solving throughout history to be able to begin to build on these successes.

@DylanFruchey If the design does not come naturally it will not work, if you force things together they will repel eachother

"Post-functionalism, thus, is a term of absence." - Eisenman #architecturalhistory

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

"This shift in balance has produced a situation whereby, for the past fifty years, architects have understood design as the product of some oversimplified form-follows-function formula." - Eisenman #architecturalhistory

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

"Deconstruction gains all its force by challenging the very values of harmony, unity, and stability, and proposing instead a different view of structure: the view that the flaws are intrinsic to the structure." - Wigley #architecturalhistory

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

"Deconstruction itself, is often misunderstood as the taking apart of constructions... Deconstruction is not demolition or dissimulation" - Wigley #architecturalhistory

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

"Design Heterarchy of spaces, not hierarchy of space" - Woods #architecturalhistory

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

"The creation of cultural theme parks whose purpose is the codification of an older order of authority as well as a lure to the masses now liberated by technology... who are not satisfied no matter how much they consume" - Woods #architecturalhistory

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

@WojcikPaige That is very cool to think about, that the only way that we see these projects as deconstructive is to deconstruct our own thoughts.

[Charlie Davis @Charlie21722222]

@CladyKelsey @ChristinaEllett Along with that, if they are purely form and function there is no reaction to other forms, connection to the environment, or the world around it.
