Abstract
The current crisis of the “American City”, stems from the notion of “The Loss of Place.” This concept of “Place” is defined and a specific project study demonstrating this concept of “Place” is presented. By utilizing new technologies available for methods and means of construction to produce “Meaningful” buildings that convey a sense of “Place” the identity and character of our cities will re-emerge.
