ruminations about architecture and design

random picture for the weekend

Another magnificent display of architecture and urban planning, or the lack thereof. I prefer the term "organic design" to describe this, which like evolution, is not really design at all. In fact, the snarky comment about urban planning is off base, because this condition is clearly not planned. Certain pieces were planned, but in general isolation from other planned things.  Thus, it is "organic" which in this instance implies something bad, but in the broader context, doesn't have anything to do with morality.

But, we make it work, because we humans are adaptable and complacent.
