on designing the temporary what does that mean? we may forcase or prescribe programs, potential uses, and functionally fallow seasons. are we weathermen reporting upon potentialities subject to chaos theory fluctuations? (and if so, how do we guide best-case scenarios?)
"self-reliant architecture": where infrastructure / architecture / landscape are open to interact?
open in terms of programmatic morphology of new urbanism's continous surface, blurring inside and outside, responding to environmental inputs. could there be a greater success rate for architecture less super-stylized? ie. blobs, period pieces. (city as smooth)
is new urbanism inventing? (As Frampton feels recent avant-garde endeavors are "guises at new scales.")
are we to borrow from the past? rather, do we not build, should that even be an option? will addressing landscape (urban public spaces rather than outright buildings) help remedy the misdirection of a comfortable, compacent public and ill-planned interfaces of infrastructure-architecture-landscape? (city as aggregate)
