I’ve been thinking a lot about space and time lately in various contexts despite my best interests or desires. One such result is a concept for an upper division undergrad class on the city.<\/p>\n
The City: Theory, Practice and Fiction.<\/p>\n
Neuromancer – the sprawl, chiba city
\nSnow Crash – the avenue, burbclaves
\nManuel Castells – space of flows, space of places, megalopolis, information age
\nMike Davis. City of Quartz – LA
\nMichel de Certeau – practices, pomo
\nWalter Benjamin. Arcades Project – modernity, flaneur
\nRoss(?) – Celebration (Disney City), designed city
\nWTC – rebuilding ideas
\nSeidensticker – Tokyo Rising, rebuilding city
\nmodernist city
\npomo city
\nVenturi – Learning from Las Vegas
\nLe Corbusier (?) – Image of city with exact replicated buildings over and
\nover again<\/p>\n
