[邊邊] : Dan Graham ...

the most approximated piece by Dan Graham to visit is stationed in the courtyard of the rotterdam's boijmans van beuningen museum... while there, it is also worth while to view Bruce Nauman's double cage piece...

also Graham's two adjacent pavilion at the kroller muller is fun to visit...

Development of "Edge cities" proves that density is back....So, let's say goodbye to the loose traditional suburbs.

Example of edge cities in the Netherlands: Amsterdam Zuid


Check the wikipedia about Edge cities

supermodernism, super hit or super shit, icon, new identity

(fig2) example: Magma Arte & Congresos. Architects: Fernando Martín Menis

Adaptive form corresponds to the real and representative form in the surroundings like mountain.
