“Commerce, success, the establishment once again claimed a living culture, as happened with its parent. Thus its terminological death was necessary before some of its better work could be constructed,” (What is Radical Post-Modernism? | Jencks). #architecturalhistory

“The audience of architects and students, which had been kept in the dark about such matters under the Nazis and then the Communists, were incredulous. They were angry at the revelations, outraged that their heroes had compromised; but very interested,”

@llt_bsu But where does that leave the overall plan of the city? Do we solely focus on how efficiently a city runs and ignore how it is designed?

[Kelsey Clady @CladyKelsey]

@naw_assumpta I think the most interesting concept is the fried egg (which is something I never imagined I’d type btw). Something about starting with a fixed shape or boundary and then fitting a bunch of programmatic pieces inside it seems really soothing to me.

[Kelsey Clady @CladyKelsey]

@WojcikPaige Interesting way to experience design. In this sense, architecture has no boundary, which makes it arguably more enjoyable and free-flowing.

[Kelsey Clady @CladyKelsey]

@MiniLaird What was considered non-important is now an essential part of design - arguably one of the most important pieces in a design. Funny how that works.

@TessaHi63274576 Couldn’t it be argued that all of these aspects are one in the same? Don’t they all have a link to social mannerisms? Wouldn’t this then be limiting?

[Kelsey Clady @CladyKelsey]

@ttrowbridgearch I would partially agree. The aspect of motors has killed city-planning, yes. But where would we be then without it? The leaps and bounds made because of the motor somewhat outweighs the pitfalls of the motor? Yes?

“ .. the question facing American postindustrial cities is what to do about the abandoned factories and acres of vacant workers’ housing? How should once mighty cities shrink and die back into the landscape?,” (The Emergence of ‘Landscape Urbanism’ | Shane). #architecturalhistory

“ ... the extension of this dispersed system ‘fueled the rapid decompression of urban industrial cities and the decentralized of both mass production and mass consumption’,” (The Emergence of ‘Landscape Urbanism’ | Shane). #architecturalhistory

“‘Assembly Line concept is applied to the overall urban complex,’ creating a miniature ‘city as a machine’ ... creating the world’s largest industrial complex,” (The Emergence of ‘Landscape Urbanism’ | Shane). #architecturalhistory

“ ... local resdients decorated the exteriors of abandoned houses with uncollected garbage and junk, much to neighbors’ dismay. These dystopian, wasteland vistas have taken on a life of their own ... ,” (The Emergence of ‘Landscape Urbanism’ | Shane). #architecturalhistory

“Oblivious to the predatory American connotation of their name, these Stalkers explored large, abandoned, often ex-military terrain inside the city, where they created happenings, pop concerts, and picnics,” (The Emergence of ‘Landscape Urbanism’ | Shane). #architecturalhistory

“This melancholy, cinematic pilgrimage, relying on memory and faith for its completion, inspired the Italian urban design group Stalker in the early 1990’s to plan journey through Rome’s unknown ‘zones’,” (The Emergence of ‘Landscape Urbanism’ | Shane). #architecturalhistory

@TessaHi63274576 Ground space could simply be considered the boundaries that humans make themselves in design. Habitable space is based in how a person experienced design.
