Abstract:
We live in an increasingly abstract, controlled and regulated world that uses
systems of control that separate buildings through uses. This separation creates
holes in the urban fabric of the built environment. This control creates a "path"
or road to nowhere, filled with no places. This causes a perceptible loss of the importance center and ones being in the world. The city is a complex amalgamation
of layers that must be engaged by the investigation of perceived connections and
disconnections. What is desired is a revealing of a city fabric that is a hybrid state
or "synthesis".
