Concrete Island. London. Jan 10
JG Ballard's "Concrete Island" offers a section of the Westway as a Crusoe's desert island for one unfortunate architect. Yet despite this dystopian vision, it gives rise to more positive speculation. Namely what are the potentials of inhabiting the leftover infrastructural spaces of cities? Railways have already (and to some extent always were) occupied in the form of viaduct arch inhabitation. As an automobile (or even post-automobile) generation, perhaps we should consider moving into the middle of our roads and left-over automobile spaces.
Let us take the car on in its own domain, let's move in.
