emergent symbiotic machine by process of system splicing + reactionary opposition Traversing Landscape_Bartram’s Garden LARP 501 • PennDesign Fall 2012 • critic_Dilip da Cunha Published in Process 17
Industrial cities characteristically exhibit infrastructural networks along rivers. Although traveling adjacent to eachother through the fabric, systems are separate with no interaction. The River and The Rail proposes a deliberate juxtaposition, celebrating the 2 systems while creating new symbiotic infrastructure remediating each system’s weaknesses through a progression of splicing, reactions, and armistice.
