I was very intrigued by the concept of the "spacial city" from our assigned readings. The sketch above was done by the author himself, Yona Friedman, of what a typical spatial city would look like. He believed that buildings should move away from being rigid and heavy, and towards being flexible, lightweight, and temporary. This city would look like a merger between countryside and city and could best be described as "mobile architecture." Incorporating more three dimensional space than any other urban/futuristic plan, The Spacial city would efficiently allocate the land available, creating an atmosphere of functionalism.
