Knowing What We Don’t Know

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Jeffrey Scott Nesbit

How do we examine, detect, and design for an environment we know so little about?With the ever-increasingly complex layers embedded into the city’s dense fabric,one piece of knowledge is for certain; we are urban detectives at best. Although wewill more than likely never know the city as a whole, intelligently deciphered ‘codes’from public architectures deliver clues from such unknown processes. In other words,recording outcomes directly linked to self-determined urban adaptations can alludeto a sort of ‘dna’ reading of the city’s ‘code’.
