Plot 69 and 70 are two typical American city blocks that are filled with mostly com­mercial, mixed-use buildings, and few cultural buildings. Many issues of these two plots represent the problematic public space-making in American urban landscape: lack of urban, public areas; disconnections between buildings; rigidity of the American zoning system, etc.

ZUS

This is a story that takes place between fall 2007 and the moment it was written. What began as a critical article, which was translated into a exhibited manifesto at the Venetian Biennale, has turned into a very concrete legal process that is trying to span a bridge between utopia and the urban reality. Even more than a story about a architectural project, it says something about the changing role of the architect, a changing role the architect must accept if he wishes to still play a fundamental part in the development of the city.
