X-Urbanism
Mario Gandelonas considers that the Eurocentric literature on cities and architecture is often patronising and does not understand Americanness: i.e. the American X-Urban City which has overtaken the vast American Suburban City and the Cities of Skyscrapers invented in America. Even the European modernist city, based on the 'tabula rasa' concept (e.g. Le Corbusier's City of To-morrow) - a reaction against the baroque city could only be realised in America.Whilst I don't think it entirely an American phenomena this book is perhaps the only critique of colonial concepts of city/urban planning; and therefore an excellent reader along side the other crap you are forced to read in school (Calvino, Duany, et al)- architechnophilia

changing lives
Change the way we think huh? Why not start with the stereotype of the architect wearing black clothes and the rectangular rimmed glasses. Just a thought. The rest of the statment I agree with.

Rem Koolhaas - Content
Recieved my copy of Content and within the first few pages was utterly confused - I really thought I was reading a magazine or something else - but definately not a book. It is witty, engaging, questioning and critiquing many things including "what is a book?"
China Town, Kingston Jamaica
China Town is to be redeveloped in Downtown Kingston. A return from the early Chinese occupation in Jamaica where most commerical enterprises up to very recently were own and operated by first or second generation Chinese living on the island. This can be a well-needed injection into the Jamaican economy in line with ICC Cricket World Cup, but more importantly a well needed boost of life into Downtown Kingston. See more here.
