Catalogue for the exhibition he Global Polis: Interactive Infrastructures, curated by Nader Vossoughian for the Center for Architecture in New York, May 15 - August 29, 2009. "What is infrastructure? For much of the twentieth century, the answer to this question was guided by the ideology of functionalist urbanism, a school of thought that said that all healthy cities served four major needs—work, housing, recreation, and transportation. Today, we no longer take this view for granted. It is a perspective that makes no provisions for community, identity, or history. At the same time, we still lack an alternative model for visualizing the city that can deal adequately with the public health and quality-of-life issues that the early functionalists sought to address. Our capacity to balance urban development with ecological imperatives and social needs has only worsened in recent decades, and this exhibition asks whether the trend can be reversed."
