Thoughts on Bicycling and Socialism…

Nice intro. Even after 2 years the debate rages on. I wrote some thoughts on aperture 2 vs lightroom 2 blog post here. I look forward to reading your in-depth post and maybe even a later v.2 comparison. Thanks again.

Comment on Temporal Mutability: Post-Structuralism and the Indeterminate in the Discourse of Landscape Urbanism by engkiat

Thanks for trolling.

Maybe when you have practised as an architect you will mature. Cheerios.

you all sound the same
your teachers have taught you most well- to be mini copycats of themselves.
enough with the archibabble- you sound foolish, pretentious and have offered little except a showing of your architectural theoretical dictionary.
ever have an original thought (not your teachers or some bloated archiego star) of your own?

Yes it could end up as another form making exercise and in today’s world of multiplicities, uncertainties and ambiguities, I guess as a student fathoming the depths of architectural discourse and ideologies, I reach for an ideal that is constantly shifting and mutating. But I think that is the reason why I feel architecture and urbanism can “re-claim” its status in the field of academic thought, for its ability to deal with, and mediate the multiplicities that exist in human society and culture. Great article you’ve written, stumbled upon it whlist doing my own online research. Thanks for the reply.

You’re right. The operative nature of James Corner’s Field Operations seek to rehabilitate the brownfields, while the Machinic landscape take a formalistic approach towards redressing the issue of urban regeneration. Corner in many cases fail to address current urban conditions; the projects deal mainly with brownfields and the process of healing the landscape for future development. the AA approach is very typical of the school’s obsession with post-structuralist philosophy. On one hand, like the Seattle Olympic Sculpture park or the High Line, landscape urbanism can be both visually arresting as well as successfully connecting urban spaces cut up by infrastructure. Yet on the other hand, it can also end up simply as another theoretical front for a form-making exercise.

Nice one. Dealing with the same material right now in my research, hope you don’t mind if I leave some musings too, a partial answer to …”could landscape urbanism be only applicable to cities going through decline”. No, I don’t think so. I think it is applicable to sustaining the growth and vibrancy of a city. But why this view? The landscape architect having been in a sense marginalised in comparison to architecture/architects looked for opportunities that existed in the ‘in between’, having experience in using the leftover spaces on site in a project this gradually lead to an understanding by the landscape architect of using the remnants of space that relates to the urban surrounds and achieving linkages with its surroundings. In the decline of cities, there came to exist tracts of land that had been abandoned that lay between parts of the functional city. Therefore there existed an opportunity for the experience of the landscape architect to come in to play. To ‘recover’ the landscape. I think there are 2 dominant schools of thought on landscape urbanism. To categorize broadly, the study of the dynamic operations involved as you mentioned by AA and to ‘freeze’ the resulting ‘machinic landscape’ as an abstraction of these complex relations. The other approach a la James Corner, is considering the complex relations, the ‘ecology’ and constructing a framework to support this as a field or matrix. Which is better? I don’t know yet but I think it will be interesting to engage this in a discussion.

Ok…I better stop.
