World of Variation: The I Press Series on the Human Environment Stevens Mary Otis
An imaginative reenvisioning of spatial and social relations from America's 1960s urbanist movementIn World of Variation (1970), American architects Mary Otis Stevens (born 1928) and Thomas McNulty (1919-84) outlined a radical reenvisioning of socio-spatial relationships, informed by their background in philosophy and commitment to decentralizing hierarchies. In striking abstract drawings, Stevens visualized aspects of the urban environment, proposing a design philosophy she termed "free flow." These diagrams give expression to both the "flow" of movement and points of "hesitations."This volume is a facsimile of World of Variation, accompanying the MIT Museum's exhibition on the work of Writing in the context of the Cold War and the political activism of 1960s America, they identified possible design solutions to then-current social issues.
