Ungrounding the Rural: Four Grids for the Great Plains

Beset by intense forms of flux and indeterminacy—from climate change to dramatic population shifts, from rapid technological change to intense economic restructuring—the contemporary challenges of global hinterlands profoundly challenge inherited conceptions of control and order in architecture and urbanism.Ever-more subject to urban processes yet too often left out of theorization on the urban, the rural today can act as a potent site of architectural and urbanistic speculation—taking its intense forms of environmental and demographic change as new grounds on which to expand disciplinary understandings of order, indeterminacy, and systems.
