The events of police brutality and community grieving made a lasting impression on Jordan, who, while known for her work as a poet, playwright, and activist, responded with a proposal for a multiple-tower housing design. Through an unlikely partnership with R. Buckminster Fuller, Jordan's “Skyrise for Harlem” project offered a Futuristic vision for Harlem that argued for environmental redesign: “it is architecture, conceived of in its fullest meaning as the creation of environment, which may actually determine the pace, pattern, and quality of living experience.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJordan was not an architect in the conventional sense, Saval says. “But in the understanding of someone who sought to propose and build interventions in public space, she was.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCopublished with Harvard University Graduate School of Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"book-summary\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePublisher: Sternberg Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePublished: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePages: 112\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47745558642875,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/1778\/1179\/files\/13761-37571-A-Rage-In-Harlem-the-incidents-1.webp?v=1779130695","url":"https:\/\/nyc.doyoureadme.de\/products\/rage-in-harlem-june-jordan-and-architecture","provider":"dyrm?! x VP, Inc.
