Fringe Benefits continued: How should "Avenues" develop? - Spacing Toronto

http://spacing.ca/wire/2008/07/16/fringe-benefits-continued-how-should-avenues-develop

Fringe Benefits continued: How should “Avenues” develop? July 16, 2008. The way the new exhibition. Presented the dynamics of ethnic communities in the suburbs helped to crystallize some concerns I have about the way the City of Toronto proposes to develop its suburbs in its official plan. The problem, however, is that whenever I’ve seen this kind of building built in Toronto in recent years, the result in inevitably the same — a dull building with expensive small condos on the upper floors a...First, it...

spacedsaviour: joy division

http://spaced3saviour.blogspot.com/2010/04/joy-division.html

Ably show joy division as emissaries from another country, a desolate land of failed capitalism now forgotten by all (apart from the proles who still live there on crack filled time warped estates) except for populist 'cultural' historians who populate the lovie media with case loads of 'worthy' time wasting clutter.so one and all step inside the heart and soul of the interzone. April 28, 2010 at 1:24 AM. Bit of a long shot, but do you happen to have access to white house psychopathia sexualis?

Most of the catastrophes of the modern. Era are architecturally set.". The catastrophe is a. Notes on Delirious New York I. Anhattanism — delerious urgency of isolation and automonument; enabled by and support by the grid. That is, brutal rationality which has become irrational — sanity which becomes, under repetition, insane. Century city — delirious and raucous expansion, growth for growth; expanded. Manhattanism; Manhattan as a model to overtake in leaps and bounds. Douala = Dakar = Dubai = Shenzhen.

Absence as Presence: Just a couple lines on monumentality

http://mostofthecatastrophes.blogspot.com/2008/05/just-couple-lines-on-monumentality.html

Most of the catastrophes of the modern. Era are architecturally set.". The catastrophe is a. Just a couple lines on monumentality. Monuments like Jefferson's or Lincoln's work in opposition to this rule, but that's only because they are immortalizing mythic figures and national narratives which surround and engulf those figures. So the scale and grandeur has to be there. Of course that's also an argument of historical context and mentality. The Lincoln memorial is actually a great example. Because on...

http://mostofthecatastrophes.blogspot.com/2008/04/s-o-i-snuck-this-smithsonian-link-in.html

Most of the catastrophes of the modern. Era are architecturally set.". The catastrophe is a. O, I snuck this link. To a smithsonian article in the previous post, but thought I really should point out some of the sweetness here:. A delicate web of finely engraved lines started to emerge. After carefully plotting the pattern, the answer became clear: it was a profile view of a column with the vertical dimension—the height of the column—reduced by a factor of 16. What it's all about – construction. I think ...
