Muschamp, Making a Rush-Hour Battleground High Art:
"New York, the great vertical city, must get back to thinking
horizontally. There are other boroughs out there besides
Manhattan -- four big ones -- and the city cannot afford to
regard them as depositories for superstores, landfills,
juvenile detention centers and such. Nor will the city happily
survive the great sucking force that would, for instance,
leave Yankee Stadium hanging on the edge of Manhattan."
Lewis Mumford, FROM THE GROUND UP, Harvest Books, NY, ,(1947), "Buildings
as Symbols,", p.27ff, "Magic and Mirrors," p.36ff, and "A Disoriented
Symbol,", p.45ff touches upon the same concerns in connection with the
design of the UN.
Will words ever affect the deeds of NY designers?
