Its actually a plan for Berlin by O.M. Ungers (1970's) for a 're-development' of Berlin in which the city's state of urban decay / depopulation became the ways in which Ungers suggested the city create highly urbanized components, surrounded by the open / un-built landscape, as a way of re-building the city while still taking into account the dwindling population / political constraints (Cold War).

Yes, but yours will be better than this. Because you're putting an actual city within a city within a city. Whereas his is just a city within a city.
ReplyDeleteLook at that rendering. Its very creepy - mixing post-modernism and Corb urban schemes. I love Ungers' theories, but your scheme will be 10 times better than this scheme.
And yes, its all been done before. So revel in it. :)
