The Clean Street Paradox
Winning entry in the 2002 Berkeley Prize Competition. The BPC is an international essay competition focusing on social issues relevant to architecture. The 2002 question addressed the role of the street in fostering social life.
This essay supports the idea that the street is a living thing. That it is metaphorically similar to a being so far as it has a conscious form and an unconscious one. The thesis is a critique of ways cities deal with issues of encouragement and repression of human behaviour directly at street level. The essay was published in ARQ (Architectural Research Quaterly), Cambridge University Press, UK, v.6, n.2, pp. 115-119.
