Unplanned : Urban Heterotopias Puente Flores, Valia F.

Abstract

The first impression one gets from walking through the commercial streets of Vancouver is that their sole purpose is that of transition and consumption, a result of their embedded prescriptiveness and predictability. A closer inspection, however, reveals spaces that escape this rigid logic. These places are often overlooked and undervalued, but they offer a moment of respite and promote the latency of the imagination.
