The inspiration for Fritz Lang’s film Metropolis is thought to be based on his first impression of his view of The New York skyline on October 1924 from a ship’s deck approaching the harbour. Stating that, “the view of the new York at night is a beacon of beauty strong enough to be the centre piece of a film... There are flashes of red and blue, gleaming white, and screaming green... Streets full of moving turning spiralling lights and high above there are advertisements surpassing the stars with their light.”

This essay will also explore Gordon Matta-Clark’s architectural education at Cornell (1962-1968), in order to grasp his initial responses towards the field of architecture, and the influences that led to him becoming the rebellious artist he is seen as today. During his tenure at Cornell he was made aware of Both Colin Rowe and Peter Eisenman. This essay will question the importance of their viewpoints in relation to Matta-Clark’s attitude towards the architectural climate in the 1970’s.
From this information this dissertation will go on to critically analyze Matta-Clark’s interventions in space, in conjunction with Henri Lefebvre’s 1974 work, ‘Production of space’. Matta-Clark’s oeuvre can then be discussed based on the theories set forth by Lefebvre. Highlighting how Gordon Matta-Clark explored the possibilities that emerge when boundaries are considered to be porous and why this is important . Concluding that the relationships that exist across the various disciplines should be explored further in order to continue to discover ideas surrounding the possibility of spatial experience.
function, ignoring site-specific conditions and focusing primarily on defined spatial arrangements, density and
form.
In order for design to evolve, we must understand that cities, much like any static natural organism are defined by how it responds to its context and the environmental conditions that this context exerts. Cities should be seen as a system of energy distribution between the ever-changing climate and the inhabitants that use them.
The way we see cities should shift towards the understanding that they have an intrinsic metabolism and that
they are living, breathing super organisms that match natural organisms in both depth and complexity.
The ecosystem that we inhabit has had millions of years to develop intricate strategies of self-organization that are resilient to environmental change. Emerging discoveries drawn from how natural biological systems employ strategies of self-organization and adapt to their environment could prove immensely significant to the architectural profession. In particular how this emerging knowledge that understands how natural structures swarm and organize themselves can be applied to the design of cities. This idea of combining natural
and artificial principles of design and organization has the potential to possibly produce architectural systems
that is as harmonious and responsive to their context with that of a living biological system.
