In reply to In McPherson Square, Occupy D.C. creates a vibrant brand of urbanism

Have a lot of stuff going through my mind right now - and that includes the notion of liminal space which popped up in my mind in response to someone's comment. I was thinking of the psychological liminal space - but there is also the architectural notion of liminal space. There is deep connection between the two imo in terms of how people respond to their physical environment - one that I don't have the time to explore at the moment. But I think it also feeds back to the notions of horizontal and vertical structures of governance. One variant is the means by which we come to decisions on complex open-ended problems - ie no one right answer, and with problems that emerge as the result of any of the answers that are options. The question of time - the time it takes to make the decision - arises in consensus in part because the physical world continues to move forward without regard to whether a decision is made or not. Any how...
