 MVRDV KM3/3D City Nederland 1999, 23’ Would it be possible to imagine a city in which 2 dimensional planning is replaced by 3 dimensional? Would it be possible then to generate true densification and to expand the existing space? This implies a city that is not only in front, behind or next to you, but also above and below. In short a city that Piranesi drew in ‘Carceri’ or like Friedman suggested; in which level zero no longer exists but has dissolved into a multiple and simultaneous presence of levels, where ‘the square’ is replaced by a void or a bundle of connections, where ‘the street’ is replaced by simultaneous distribution/division of routes and is expanded by elevators, ramps and escalators, where ‘far away’ is reduced to proximity and the park is transformed into a stacking of public spaces. In this world spatial quality is no longer translated into morphology or geometry, but in richness,diversity, presence, proximity. It no longer matters where level zero is, since it exists simultaneously at different altitudes. The difference between under or above ground is no longer relevant. There is only simultaneity.
