"Unitary Urbanism"--Sums up a lot of what I feel towards this project-here's a good quote.
"Whatever prestige the bourgeoisie may today be willing to grant to fragmentary or deliberately retrograde artistic tentatives, creation can now be nothing less than a synthesis aiming at the construction of entire atmospheres and styles of life. . . . A unitary urbanism — the synthesis we call for, incorporating arts and technologies — must be created in accordance with new values of life, values which we now need to distinguish and disseminate. . . . " Gil J Wolman
I feel this project has a lot to do with what the Situationist International were striving for which leads me to the concept of "redefining public space" or "reclaiming urban areas" in creative ways, allowing for new means of dispersal for ideas and art, while turning the city into our playground/canvas.
