Fits the trend, really. Archjitects are always coming out with these brand new ideas for radical new conurbations/cities, and what it always comes down to is crushing the individual human spirit for the sake of large scale aesthetics.
Why is Manchester not Leeds, and why is Leeds not Liverpool? They're all cities, but there are fundamental cultural differences. Human cultural differences.The difference between the Beatles, Gang Of Four and Joy Division, if you like.
Before making these cities into One City, the architect by definition is trying to destroy or minimise the differences. As the differences come from humans, he will end up minimising humans.
It's a nasty, ugly, fascistic bollocks idea and they can fuck off. |
