"the grid shapes our insides"

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Mon, 07/22/2013 - 5:53pm.

And here's another play on our theme: a little essay on Grids: Rows and Curves, which focuses on the Latin American city, where "the irregular coast...was the problem," "making the establishment of a clear checkerboard impossible. Regular plans and straight streets had to distort and adapt to difficult coastlines and other obstacles such as hills and marshes.”

And here's the punch line: "the grid shapes our insides....to shape ourselves differently will involve something more than changing the roads."
