to forget about my diseased computer i decided to make a study trip on Monday. i went to Las Colinas about 20 minutes north west of Dallas. Las Colinas is an edge city that started off as a vision from the rancher/businessman Ben Carpenter in the 1970:s. today the work-live community hosts over 2000 companies and the world headquarters for among many others ExxonMobil and Kimberly-Clark. about 30 000 people lives in Las Colinas and 100 000 people work here.
features include a lake, venetian inspired channels with electrically powered gondolas, channel walk, an elevated shuttle train and a live/work environment.
this blog is a part of my thesis project for my masters degree in architecture at Lund University.
it's main purpose is to document and record my own thoughts throughout the process. mainly for my own records, but also for my professors, fellow students, friends, family and others interested in the subject.
please feel free to read, comment and ask questions.
