“i learned to drive in order to read los angeles in the original”. reyner banham, architecture of four ecologies

I would like to suggest a comparison.

Reyner Banham, architectural critic, did in 1972 a very interesting documentary about the city of Los Angeles, a city who could not leave aside the autombiles! You need to move with them to discover its sprawl, its complexity, its peculiarity, its beauty. There aren't other possibilities.

But what Ross Ching shows is a LA without car, so how to understand the city and become part of it?

Both of them are very interesting points of view.

They make us thinking about how cars have conditioned our life and how we are so deeply slaves of them.
