Der amerikanische Architekt Michael Maltzan zeichnet in No More Play. Conversations on Urban Speculation in Los Angeles and Beyond die Veränderungen der Stadt Los Angeles seit den frühen 1990er-Jahren bis zum heutigen Zustand einer modernen Metropole nach und zeigt deren Bezüge zur sich wandelnden Umgebung auf. In eine Reihe von Gesprächen über Bodenspekulation und künftige Stadtentwicklung werden Themen wie Identität, Infrastruktur, Landschaft, Ressourcen, Bebauungsdichte, Stadterfahrung, politische Struktur, Handel und Gemeinwesen eingebracht, um die traditionellen Modelle von Stadtentwicklung zu erweitern. Dadurch soll definiert werden, auf welche Weise die Stadt auf den Gezeitenwechsel der jüngst komplexer gewordenen Identität der Metropolregion reagieren muss. Die Beiträger sind Iwan Baan, Catherine Opie, Sarah Whiting, Charles Waldheim, Matthew Coolidge, Geoff Manaugh, Mirko Zardini, Edward Soja, James Flanigan, Charles Jencks und Qingyun Ma.

Summary

In No More Play: Conversations on Urban Speculation in Los Angeles and Beyond, American architect Michael Maltzan traces the transformations that have taken place in the city of Los Angeles from the early nineties to the current state of a modern metropolis and its relationship with its changing surroundings. In a series of conversations on real estate speculation and future urban development, issues such as identity, infrastructure, landscape, resources, site density, urban experience, political structure, commerce, and community are introduced to supplement traditional models of urban development. This is meant to facilitate defining how the "City of Angels" has to respond to turn of the tide in the identity of the metropolitan region, one that has recently become much more complex. Contributors to the volume are Iwan Baan, Catherine Opie, Sarah Whiting, Charles Waldheim, Matthew Coolidge, Geoff Manaugh, Mirko Zardini, Edward Soja, James Flanigan, Charles Jencks, and Qingyun Ma.
