Shearing Layers
Blackboard Reading.
Explore the different layers of a building identified by their rate of change.
These rates of change play a big role in the construction of the building,
the relationship between the different layers, and their interaction with people and society.
The relationship between these layers are similar to the different layers within society in terms of rate of change eg. pedestrians will respond to and avoid slower pedestrians, the same as bikes will ride around pedestrians rather than perestrains avoiding bikes. However is there is a lot of bikes using a particular path, pedestrians will leave space for them.
Therefore the relations and dynamic interactions of society can be explored through layers of dynamics similar to buildings and insights into society can be found through understanding buildings and the relationship and attributes of their layers of change. (Not to be forgotten that built environment is a layer within society)
All this leads to the question: How does the rate of change and fluctuations of the built environment influence society and its layers?
