Abstract:
The American urban landscape has been shifting for the past century. Shifting away from the public and social life to a private one, a life behind closed doors. Is our society to blame for this, the culture itself, or perhaps it is in the way we design our cities, in the way that we organize ourselves within them? Using the Methods of Interaction, it is possible to create a new architecture, one that will allow people to not only interact, but encourage it, bolstering communities and even creating new ones.
