A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The simple act of walking has been rendered alien and almost obsolete in the contemporary landscape. In modernity, we imagine technological progress improving the human situation by eliminating exertion through our makings and devices such as automobiles, computers, and cellular phones. Indeed, postmodern theory has even questioned the position of the body itself. Ordinary walking has become a rebellious and subversive act.
