Re-Center, Re-Inforce, Re-Veal: Speculations into a Hybrid Urban Fabric

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".
