Description:
Spanning 15 years of propositions for suburban cities, particularly Houston, from the Rice School of Architecture. Everything Must Move is a book documenting over a decade of propositions about the suburban city in general, and Houston in particular. This city-- shapeless, polluted, traffic-clogged, water-logged, limitless--has been a workshop for testing ideas about operating in impossible situations. Everything Must Move is, in many ways, an archival project, however through the infusion of this archival material with new perspectives and projections the project remains poly-vocal, diverse, and open.This new material presented mainly in the form of short essays, written in response to the projects, photographs, and research that form the backbone of the the project that Rice School of Architecture, under the direction of dean Lars Lerup, has undertaken in the last 15 years.
