The decline of the grid
About the theme of "assonance"
The decline of the city grid refers to a phenomenon where
the traditional urban street grid pattern, is characterized
by a regular, interconnected network of streets and blocks, has been altered or fragmented over time.
This can occur due to various factors such as urbanization, suburbanization, car-oriented development, zoning regulations, or changes in land use patterns.
One of the main consequences is the loss of walkability
and pedestrian friendliness.
Moreover, it can negatively impact social interactions
and community cohesion.
The traditional street grid pattern has fostered social interactions
and a sense of place, providing multiple routes and public spaces
for people to gather and engage with each other.
When this pattern is disrupted, it can result in a less vibrant and less connected urban environment.
I painted this impact through this series using yarn as
a symbol of missing connections.
