A deadly desert. No tourists to Paris anymore. Brasilia, and particularly Chandigarh, both cases where modern cities were designed and erected on virgin lands are a clear failure. Urban ontological value centrality can not simply be designed with pencils. By adapting to technology and industrialisation, architecture and urbanism unconsciously introduced the homogenous space concepts of mathematics, physics and astronomy.
Man is dealt with like a particle in physics, an impersonal unit in the universe.
Studies into the anthropology of space show that this change of space concepts was a tremendous transition which required a high degree of adaptation for countless millions of peoples. This system provided a complex set of complementary categories which structured the environment in close relation to human conditions. Space lost its capacity for social control. Public space was dynamised to a high degree and thus depersonalised, devalued in its complementarity to private space. This was put away with by the homogeneous space concept and functionalism.
