<strong>The</strong> <strong>City</strong> as Panorama<br />
• In the early 20 th century the city appeared as an open &<br />
expansive panorama, ruled by the transformation <strong>of</strong><br />
space & time that modern modes <strong>of</strong> travel provided.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> pictorial image <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> as a Work <strong>of</strong> Art was<br />
replaced by the city <strong>of</strong> soaring skyscrapers.<br />
• Railroad travel had erased the idea <strong>of</strong> in-between space.<br />
• Mobility in space thus enabled a juxtaposition <strong>of</strong><br />
disparate but sequential images.<br />
• So the city was no longer seen from a static frontal<br />
perspective, but as a multidimensional traveling view<br />
that was itself a new spatialization <strong>of</strong> space.<br />
