Designing a Space Station

Today at my side job at the Van Alen Institute, I stumbled upon a jewel: a competition program written in 1987 by Michael Sorkin for an international space station. This is one of the more democratic collection of words, in the context of design, I have had the pleasure of reading. The competition garnered over 50 entries from Russian designers, the only time in the history of the Van Alen or Society of Beaux-Arts that has attracted Russian participation. Here is the program Mr. Sorkin wrote............more to come.
