Author(s): Tom Marble
Our Cities, Our Selves is based on the observation that cities change not in a series of large movements but building by building, the product of a specific interaction of particular individuals. Each interaction leads to another; it addresses one imbalance but produces new one, which begets a new interacti on, and so on. Fueled by persistent imbalance, equilibrium is never achieved. The city unfolds, interaction by interaction, a process whose by products are individual buildings – which makes the city an archive of successive interactions. Perhaps then, architecture is not the product of interaction, it is interaction.
