Item Urban Frame; after endless [inner] deja vu(2010) Gillespie, Benson Bright; Casbarian, John J.The continuous interior of endless Junkspace, is, at its best, the compulsive repetition of itself. This architectural condition, which exists worldwide, is characteristic of airports, casinos, malls, urban tunnel/skyway systems and transit linked nodal developments. Constantly expanding due to the elevator, escalator and A.C. Unit, this endless internal condition is completely self-sufficient, operating without formal, programmatic or site constraints. The inside is the extreme of "Bigness"; a seamless, generic, interiority where the relationship between inside and outside no longer exist. By pairing the current endless interior with post-bigness urban strategies, a new urban scenario emerges that problematizes the genericity of the seamless interior while simultaneously disrupting the undifferentiated urban relationship of the block or mega-block to its non-context. The project uses the scale of the endless building as infrastructure to explore the possibility of an After-Bigness, After-Generic moment.
