title: Flexible Urbanism: A Tactical Response to Revitalization

creator: Samantha Lane

subject: Buildings, Temporary; Flexible structures, Public spaces

description: Historically, large scale urban development has fragmented American cityscapes through the occupation of central spaces with industrial structures, separating the city’s neighborhoods. Over time, the need for these buildings declined, leaving behind neglected or misused spaces. Initiating the redevelopment process through the insertion of temporary public architecture that builds off of the existing industrial buildings inspires activity and interaction between the surrounding neighborhoods through program and structure that can adapt to support the needs of the inhabitants and expand to incorporate the city at a larger scale.
