Space, Geography, built environment

I really like the Post Modern style of architecture. I especially like Teddy Cruz design for housing in Tijuana (figure 8.17) I like the fact that the architecture is functional and appropriate for the space, but that a lot of it is purely artistic and does not necessarily make sense, compared to modernism.

I particularly liked the closing statement of this section: "Global capitalism produces subjects who exist farther from the centers of economic wealth and technological advancement than ever before due to globalization's production of an ever wider economic divide yet who are nevertheless global, and is is their appropriative fashioning of the materials at hand to make do and find a place that shows us the tensions of the modern, the postmodern, the postindustrial, and the global at once".
