Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Comments on SITE SITE (Sculpture In The Environment) 1970 - New York City
"In terms of general objectives, SITE has become increasingly committed to the sociological and psychological content of architecture, as opposed to problem-solving technology - or, described another way, architecture as art, rather than architecture as design. In answer to the controversy often raised among architects by this choice of priorities, the group has continued to point out that there is no implied forfeit of architecture's obligation to provide shelter and workable space. What this shift of emphasis does open up, however, is the possibility for buildings, (like theatre and literature) to begin to articulate society's subconscious responses to changing phenomena, instead of continuing only as a chronicler of its economic ambitions and fixed ideologies.
