This series examines 60s and 70s high-rise
architecture as expressions of modernist social and cultural
vision. In a contemporary context we see how vernacular forces have undermined internationalist idealism--individualization of window treatments and the incursion of telecommunications devices disrupt the perfect grid, and a rain-forest growth rate has left once-tidy
plantings busting out of their concrete barriers. We also acknowledge a landscape design disproportionately designated for automobiles.
