Interior Urbanism: Architecture, John Portman and Downtown America

Interior Urbanism - Architecture, John Portman and Downtown America

Vast interior spaces have become ubiquitous in the contemporary city. The soaring atriums and concourses of mega-hotels, shopping malls and transport interchanges define an increasingly normal experience of being 'inside' in a city. Yet such spaces are also subject to intense criticism and claims that they can destroy the quality of a city's authentic life 'on the outside.' Interior Urbanism explores the roots of this contemporary tension between inside and outside, identifying and analyzing the concept of interior urbanism and tracing its history back to the works of John Portman and Associates in 1960s and 70s America.
