The architectural wonder of impermanent cities | Rahul Mehrotra 

Burning Man - purposefully impermanent which disappears without a trace each year.

Be the one !

Starting in late 2016 I had the formation of an idea for a city built for easy change and optimized for it, and transit, along with effectively 100% green space. The concept involved using materials and geometric relationships as efficiently as feasible, and I'm almost done with my world-building for how it fits together to complete a fictional short story, and I just ran across this video this morning, such great timing. The short story largely revolves around how people's behavior is shaped by the city's design, and how the city's design is shaped by the people in it. I posit that a city is just a structure for facilitating connections: if it's efficient at that, it'll always be vibrant, as long as it can live off the land"s bounty, and if not, it becomes another structural graveyard in most cases. Having seen enough cities in various states of their cycles of existence, those that are too immutable don't survive reality: they're bypassed and abandoned, because they're no longer efficient enough. The thought there'd be a megacity with 7 million people that's so transient and lightweight assembled and disassembled so quickly for a particular purpose, and so orderly, I find absolutely fascinating.

This is a truly amazing sight to behold and you should try to witness this if you have the means to do so. I think that you could probably find a way to connect with locals in your field that work on this to get an inside look. It could be an event that sparks something in you akin to why you started in your field to begin with.

@@mr.e695 I will, thank you!

I'd suggest that cities are an artifact for making connections between people more efficient, when done right. As discussed in this presentation, the temporal nature is just one attribute, but in this presentation, it's shown that permanence isn't necessarily an optimal attribute of a city.

I recall an extremely minor earthquake 13 years ago. Yeah, that's about it, my country isn't exactly a hotspot for natural disasters and yeah it's probably more expensive to sustain temporary constructions. The cost of existing would increase

Asli cement bangur cemenet! Sasta nahi sabse acha!

The problem pointed out in this presentation to some degree is permanence isn't always an asset as much as it's a liability. Cities and their structures in a lot of the world, in my observation, are a form of premature optimization or dreaming of what people think things should be, made of expensive hard-to-change materials that either results in something written in stone that doesn't change to fulfill current needs, so it's often abandoned or wasted, or is expensively destroyed and replaced with something that does. Either way, designing and implementing in such a manner has a high cost.

Temperance is the the only permanence.

It should be.

that makes no since...

thats poetry

for everyone says it doesn't make sense or "since": my computer runs out of battery i plug in a charger parliamentary then it doesn't run out now i need to keep it plugged in or it will run out.

@@MasterCMac it does you don't. By the way since means after or a consequence of something. For example since you didn't pay attention in English you don't know the difference between sense and since. Make sense now.

Nobody is asking you to live anywhere. Nobody is forcing you to watch it either.
