Street Art
-A public expression of an idea or statement, not
 sanctioned by officials, using the existing
 aesthetics (or lack there of) of a building.
Polychromy
• The use of color in the exterior of a building.
• A far-reaching idea was that the use of color
  was a vague form of “cladding”
Cladding
• The art of “dressing” the exterior of a
  building with a thin layer of another
  material.
Urbanism/Conclusion
•   Urbanism is loosely defined as the way inhabitants of urban areas
    interact with their surroundings.
•   Political expression effects the community.
•   Functionality becomes aesthetically appealing

Questions


•   What do you say to people who claim the way you
    express yourself is crass, dumb and simplistic?
• Well duh.
  They're right of course. Most of
  this stuff is designed to be
  viewed from a moving vehicle.
• Can you donate a picture for my
  charity auction?
• What are you? Blind? In which case
  maybe. I mostly support projects
  working to restore sight and
  prevent eye disease. Or as I like
  to call it expanding the market.

• “An idle man strolling around town”
• Susan Sontag: “the voyeuristic stroller who
  discovers the city as a landscape of
  voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of
  watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur
  finds the world picturesque.” (pg. 55)
