WE WILL BE MAKING ACTIVE FORM

摘要

Buildings that are typically considered to be geometrical formal objects, and the cities they inhabit, have become infrastructural technologies. Far from being a hidden substructure, they seem to press into view a cartoon of their abstract technical and economic logics. Mobile, monetised, repeatable formulas for spatial products like resorts, golf courses, malls, IT campuses or big boxes increasingly shape most of the space in the world. Now, not only small communities and resorts, but also entire world cities, are constructed according to a formula, and usually one that replicates Shenzhen or Dubai anywhere in the world.
