PERVERSIONS NATURAL [II] 1977/78 ARCADIA CITY [Peter Cook & Christine Hawley]


natural Perversion Peter Cook city bourgeoisie (engine culture) forgotten by the 1968 revolution. Cook defines its Arcadias as

"... an attempt at building rhetoric. A throwback to the invention, attracted by the charm of certain life situations, along with the idea of \u200b\u200bsuperimposing different situations, typical specific. "

whole city is full of more "natural" and representative from status in English with a river valley and the idyllic figure of 40000 inhabitants, to the incursion of wild natural life and tabulated regular structures, assuming a picturesque work all the way to the English garden that he so revered.


Interestingly Cook's work in generating experiences, I would say performing the sums as follows:

"When parked the car and walked toward the door of our house, we can be a charioteer who enters the city wall or a simple statistic of fire regulations .... "

Do You Have To Cook Summer Sausage

/ Settings hostile [I] 1971 Arctic City [Frei Otto / Ove Arup / Kenzo Tange]


The two common features of any utopia (as Jameson its Archaelogies of The Future, unconscious father inspired this blog) are: a general and systematic closure law. The closure law is one parameter that allows its existence to create a differentiation in the current system (for Thomas More and his Utopia generate the closure law, for which a fictional island Moro looking where to start from scratch).

The search for resources in environments as hostile as the Arctic creates a good starting point for the development of climate utopias. In this case, Frei Otto (structural design) joins Kenzo Tange (urban planning) to design a continuous envelope around 3Km2 transparent surface (which had been built in a smaller size in the U.S. pavilion of Osaka70) under which manages a model of low-density city like a small city garden pool.

This project is the culmination of the testing of Frei Otto on air-conditioned environments from large textile coverings.
