In the reading by Sharon it talks about traffic jams from urban shopping areas and just one company stores in a large area. The second reading by Gershenfeld talks about a revolution with computers. Meaning that more ideas are being purchased on computers from a person’s home, this eliminates the traffic and cluster of people in one area. This relates to architecture in a way of slowing down business. If everything can be bought on a computers over time, that takes away the need for a number of buildings that would be built in the urban areas.
