Urban Planners, Architects and Designers are very rarely the subject of drama. This, even though our lives are crying out to be made into reality shows. Buildings appear,parks disappear, communities disappear, developers rejoice, communities complain, budgets get cut, arguments over color destroy, paranoia kills. I am sure we all have out share of big and small designer dramas and dilemmas!
So the new play "Boozy: The Life, Death and Subsequent Vilification of Le Corbusier and, More Importantly, Robert Moses",that just opened in New York piqued my interest. The play is a blend of fact and fiction, mixing charcters and stories to talk about the making of public space in a democracy, created in a style described as an "absurdist brand of revisionist history."
