Thoughts on History

For Class

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@WojcikPaige I remember when we were talking about this in Social and Environmental Justice. It's crazy because you can see this here in Indy as well. It's everywhere.

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@e_berge22 I think if we follow the things they are suggesting and focus on into our society that we would be better off in the long run

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@naw_assumpta I agree girl. Whole-time I'm reading I'm just like

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@CladyKelsey Spitting city after city out.

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@CladyKelsey I feel like this is a project that Ana deBrea would love because she loves to take things that people would believe to be trash or not worth anything and make art

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@CladyKelsey I saw this same thing and I was just thinking that it's amazing how things can go from great to the complete opposite so fast

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@naw_assumpta Finding something that relates everyone is key for sure

"Landscape Urbanists want to continue the search for a new basis of a performative urbanism that emerges from the bottom up, geared to the technological and ecological realities of the postindustrial world" (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

"Other successful cities have moderated their dynamic
and destabilizing tendencies with pushes for justice and equality, so that wealth and information are redistributed throughout the urban network..." (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

"A true urban ecology provides such feedback mechanisms to safeguard its future and allows for the response of those who want to climb out of poverty" (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

"Adaptive reuse, as in the conversion of dockland warehouses or multi-story factories to lofts and apartments, is another successful strategy that has provided housing and workplaces to activate inner-city areas" (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

" A common ground is useless without people to activate it and to surround it, to make it their commons" (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

" ...what to do about the abandoned factories and acres of vacant workers’ housing, with redundant commercial strips. How should once mighty cities shrink and die back into the landscape?" (Shane). #architecturalhistory

@naw_assumpta I was thinking the same thing. Even when I was looking at examples on the lectures I was like so where is it different tho

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@naw_assumpta I agree but at the same time I can see the city in the sky that's on Meet the Jensens and I wonder if maybe a new idea of what we consider a city, building, and street design would result

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@RunyanGuo I believe they should solve as many problems as possible. Sure, you can solve one problem and it might be amazing but if everything else is less than mediocre is it really a good design? I would say no

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@CladyKelsey Whenever I see something about the landscape I'm just reminded that I should always think about it when designing

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

@llt_bsu Creating and designing for the future leads to inevitable opportunities for learning

[Rebecca Booker @beccab_323]

"The forces of reaction, as cynical and self-serving as ever, are eager to fill the void left by a destruction that they themselves to a large degree have caused" (Woods). #architecturalhistory
