Telegenic City: The Surreal Machine, at Gridskipper online

fractal_landscape “Architect George Katodrytis has written a fascinating and meaty essay about what the “new” Dubai means as a city. Katodrytis wrestles with the problem faced by anyone interested in Dubai: on the one hand it’s sometimes looks like a series of homogenous enclaves for the wealthy, and yet on the other hand, the city’s extremely rapid evolution and tremendous resource pool makes for the world’s most advanced urban petri dish. Most of this works out in terms of architecture, urban planning, design, and the like, but the larger points touch on how Dubai’s physical form will affect its citizens and future.Telegenic City [George Katodrytis]”. Chris Mohney at Gridskipper, the Urban Travel Guide.
