Splintering Volumes: Architecture, Engineering, Finance, and Urban Form

Donald McNeill

Journal of Urban Technology, 2022, vol. 29, issue 1, 95-100

Abstract: This commentary suggests that Splintering Urbanism provided the tools and metaphors for urbanists to understand how architectural, engineering, and financial knowledge has been brought together to remake urban infrastructure. It uses the concept of volumetric urbanism to illustrate how central cities are segregated, diced, and sliced within their internal structures, and discusses how this perspective opens up the materiality of major urban development projects. The commentary explains how Splintering Urbanism shaped the intellectual terrain for framing how these can be understood as volumetric interventions in the city, retheorizing urban spaces as being stacked and sectioned around reorganized public and private spaces.
