Models for Global Architecture

128 · The Generic Sublime Organizational Models for Global Architecture

Ciro Najl

The Generic Sublime recognizes the normative consistency across prevailing developmental forms in the age of globalization and explores how a contemporary notion of the sublime emerges out of the generic. By abstracting the organizational protocols of skyscraper collectives, high-rise housing agglomerations, mixed-use conglomerates, new central districts, outstretched suburban enclaves, and instantaneous satellite cities, architect and theorist Ciro Najle, together with students at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, develop new architectural models for encompassing the unprecedented potential of the extra-extra-large. Visionary in nature and awe-inspiring in scale, The Generic Sublime anticipates groundbreaking territorial forms of architecture, complex in their organization and singular in their presence. Ciro Najle, architect, researcher, educator, Dean at the School of Architecture and Urban Studies at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Visiting Professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, cofounder and former Director of the Landscape Urbanism Graduate Design Master Program.
