Abstract Details

2010, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
The contemporary suburban city dweller is dependent on and restricted to the infrastructural networks of transportation, communication, and consumption. These loose agglomerations have produced a landscape of dispersed meaningless non-places. The mall stands as the last realm of public space in this web and shopping as the last terminal human activity. Taking cues from the more informal networks of rapidly developing third world countries, the ever-increasing demand for individualization, and the changing cultural and urban landscape, this project proposes to transform the suburban mall into a viable piece of the urban fabric. A study of the interconnected economic, political and social networks of the neighborhood and the urban implications of existing actions will lead to a renewal of latent urbanism further encouraging social and economic interaction. Providing a dispersed, suburban neighborhood with a social center developed around a shifted notion of the urban and public space.
