Forces Shaping the Spaces We Inhabit
Urban and suburban grids should be flexible, and adaptable to historic changes. The Kagome net is compared with a Cartesian and a polar one, and in three dimensions a cuboctahedral/cubic space frame is compared with an orthogonal one and with an octet frame. The interactions between demographic distributions and geometry generated a cybernetic system in which changes in one constantly engender forces which in turn modify the other.
