... OTHER EMERGENT SYSTEMS


Tyson’s work can be seen as an ongoing investigation into the question of how and why things come into being. Many of them investigate the physical forms and systems found within the natural world; others examine the effects of mankind on the environment, and the ensuing man-made forms and systems.

PAMPHLET - ANY TAKERS?


Investigations in Infrastructure

At a time of new government leadership committed to investing in the United States' infrastructure, architects, engineers, and artists should propose new directions for transportation, energy, and agriculture at a continental scale. In this spirit, no visionary dimension is too large, no inventive proposal too ambitious to consider. Projects designed for countries other than the United States should be generalized enough to be applicable. The first place winner will receive $2,500 toward the creation of a manuscript that will become Pamphlet Architecture 30, to be published by Princeton Architectural Press.
