Quotes

I have found some quotes that I find really interesting and could be useful to this project:

‘The grid is above all, a conceptual speculation.’

‘The grid makes the history of architecture and all previous lessons of urbanism irrelevant. It forces Manhattan’s builders to develop a new system of formal values, to invent strategies for the distinction from one block to the other.’

‘The grids two dimensional discipline also creates undreamt-of freedom for three dimensional anarchy.’

‘Since there is no hope that larger parts of the island can be dominated by one single client or architect, each intention – each architectural ideology has to be realised fully within the limitations of one block.’
