Scales of Metabolic Flows: Regional, Urban and Building Systems Design at SOM
By likening the process of urban design to the diagnostics and intervention of the routine blood test, Keith Besserud, Mark Sarkisian, Phil Enquist and Craig Hartman of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) provide a powerful biological metaphor for the city and its metabolic flows. Through their descriptions of SOM's work on the Great Lakes Vision (2009), Chicago Lakeside (2012) and the Pin‐Fuse Joint (2009), they illustrate the impact of metabolic flows of energy, information and matter at the scale of the regional, urban and architectural.
