| Statement | Ultimately, it does not matter whether urban development is wrapped by the latest morphogenetic skin, neo-classical prop or LEED-certified photovoltaic panels, if all approaches continue to camouflage the most pressing problems of urbanization today. Without altering the exclusionary policies and economics that have produced the current crises, the future of the city will continue to be subordinated to the visionless environments defined by the bottom-line urbanism of the developer's spreadsheet and the neo-conservative politics and economics of a hyper-individualistic ownership society. As architects, we can be responsible for imagining counter-spatial procedures, political, and economic structures that can produce new forms of affordability, public culture and activism. |
