road trip
notes from road trip:
exisiting infastructural biases: road system in place leads to a natural tendency to think in terms of the commuter and the car.
existing cultural biases: the American Dream picture still consists of 2.5 kids in a suburban home with 2 cars and a white picket fence. please note that the white picket fence thing seems to be nearly impossible to find in the whole of New Jersey (the worlds largest suburb...)
existing zoning biases: favoring single use zoning. no mixed use areas. separation of living and working and play and everything
funding for public transportation: the Metro in DC has no funding base. it is continually asking for more money but gets no continuous support.
potential pieces: urban infill; suburban infill; nomadic architecture
