Lembro de um professor meu de planejamento urbano famosíssimo, que fez doutorado no anos 80 com o Edward Soja na ucla. Eu perguntei uma coisa sobre gestão do território do Los Angeles que eu não entendi, e ele disse: olha, os EUA produzem uma teoria excelente sobre urbanismo. E não aplicam NADA

CITY OF QUARTZ by Mike Davis - An engrossing account of the forces that shaped LA throughout the 19th and 20th century. Published on eve of the riots, it captures so many elements of what made an eruption inevitable, but also has many echoes of our modern sickness on display.

Edward Soja wrote in Thirdspace: “My objective[…]is to encourage you to think differently about the meanings and significance of space and those related concepts that compose and comprise the inherent spatiality of human life.” His words echo in the overlooked, reminding us that space isn’t neutral.

Edward Soja (1989):
a concentrated representation of the restructured spatiality of the late capitalist city: fragmented and fragmenting, homogeneous and homogenizing, divertingly packaged yet curiously incomprehensible, seemingly open in presenting itself to view but constantly pressing to enclose, to compartmentalize, to circumscribe, to incarcerate. Everything imaginable appears to be available in this micro-urb but real places are difficult to find, its spaces confuse an effective cognitive mapping, its pastiche of superficial reflections bewilder co-ordination and encourage submission instead. Entry by land is forbidding to those who carelessly walk but entrance is nevertheless encouraged at many different levels. Once inside, however, it becomes daunting to get out again without bureaucratic assistance. In so many ways, its architecture recapitulates and reflects the sprawling manufactured spaces of Los Angeles.
