    Robert Hughes's "The Shock of The New"
    covered this remarkably well, (late 70s).

    drew a direct (if you paid attn) line to the 3rd R's goals and this architecture.

    been thinking a lot about Marshall McLuhan recently

    funny, he was such a big deal in his final decade,then as soon as he died, the 'media', -who couldn't get enough of him- suddenly just shut up and neatly put aside everything they had gleaned, nearly erasing him

    movable type, every 'e' looks like every other 'e'

    folks stopped seeing, and only read

    society writ-large 'oh what if we made people just like movable type?'

    machine tools, movable, replace when worn out,

    As a so-called 'ban cars' advocate;

    I -wholly- get that private automobiles are a huge boon to folks who are severely otherwise challenged to get from where they are to where they want(need) to go.

    by no means have I any -want nor desire- to throw obstructions in their way.

    Rather, get rid of the obstructions presented by abled folks who just don't want to walk a few blocks, take up all the spaces, and such just because entitled.

    take away the pedestrians, cyclists, etc, nothing changes.

    take away the cars,
    everything changes.
