The wheel of time, the spur of city life, the growing/ multiplying city, spreading- spilling outwards like bacteria. Life for the human becomes a blur. How does one channel or control the growing city?
The increasing population of the world has impacts all over the world, none of us can deny that. How does one form a solution to the problem?
In Le Corbusier's "Towards a New Architecture" the option for building a vertical vity has been discussed. To keep the ratio of solid and coid balanced, he proposes to lift the buildings on pilotis/ columns, in order to achieve open public spaces.
Aldo Rossi in his book " Age of Humanism" proposes to design cities with infrastructure planned for a specific population growth, once the number of people goes beyond that, another city be populated.
Do these proposals justify as solutions? What implications will a "Land of Towers" have on the human? How many cities will be formulated? Will the earth be all land and no water?
