Gradually, Fiercely
Gradually, Fiercely is a collapse of two paradoxes through the realization of the "Fulfillment Grid." The logics of automation, economic efficiency, and the physical flexibility of the grid are paired with the logics of habitat creation, species movement, and systemic flexibility. Louisville, Kentucky, with its access to 75 percent of the US population in a 2-hour-or-less delivery chain, becomes the testing ground for the Urbanism of Fulfillment. The project uses the SDF-airport region as a test case to subvert traditional forms of consumer-based urbanism and manifest contemporary ecological ideals.
