Synopsis
By the year 2025, 4/5ths of the world's population will live in cities. The New Urbanists are attempting to ensure that civic environments will be developed along traditional lines, using their image of the future as a strongly reconfigured, sanitized version of the past.
The PS building represents the work of one of the foremost New Urbanists, Eric Owen Moss. Once an obsolete industrial building. Moss has redesigned it to become the corporate headquarters of a video and film computer graphics company. James Steele traces the different phases of the buildings development, as well as Moss's contribution to the transformation of the Hayden Tract in western Los Angeles.
Synopsis
The PS building is an experiment and and ambitious attempt to Eric Owen Moss to redefine what a city is. A challenging design well described and illustrated from ground-breaking through to final design.
