Description: All across the world a uniform, homogeneous model of development, inspired by Los Angeles style urban sprawl-consisting of massive freeways, parking lots, shopping malls, and large-scale masterplanned communities with golf courses-is being stamped onto the earth's topography. This globalized model of architecture does not respect or adapt itself to the natural or cultural environment onto which it is implanted.
