Cadence Of Decadence.
Mycities are palimpsests – of people, buildings, space and time. All of theseelements have left their trace on the built environment. They work as amechanism that constructs our contemporaneity on foundations of the past,constantly rewriting the future.
Ifirst came across the notion of ‘palimpsest’ in literature and found itsuitable as a metaphor for the ability of the cityscape to evidence the past,the now and the future simultaneously. This shuffling, rebuilding andremodelling, inscription and re-inscription, that I see occur, I call ‘cadenceof decadence’. If you were to find it confusing, I’d roughly translate it as‘rhythm of decay’. I use it in referenceto the sociological, economic, political and cultural aspects that shape urbanenvironments. ‘Cadence’ hints to apattern in these transformations, a repetitive, continuous character to them.‘Decadence’ makes reference to the decay in buildings and, on a broaderspectrum, to the cultureideology of today’s consumerism and how it affects cities' architecture.
