Statement:

The time is neither future nor past. The place is neither East nor West. The design of our built environments begin with ideas, and these ideas are articulated in ways which may be conceptual, fuzzy, or imprecise. What we find is that the material of a city is immaterial at its very core. Our attempts to define rules for society precede every action, motion or change in our urban environment, and our urban experiences can be altered when we change the manner in which we define a city. Rules for the Expression of Architectural Desires is a selection of 24 speculative rules, schemes, devices and instruments for the urban and social design of a city, accompanied by two videos.
