Infrastructure Space



    As we, humankind,  begin to spread out further and further with the assistance of technology, we bring about multipliers to help aid our lives. as stated with the example of the high way, sometimes adding more lanes only creates more congestion. Understanding how infrastructure space works and how to specifically direct it, in order from the beginning to know how to solve issues and not create this congestions. 
    With each disposition of networks, there can be a multiplier of sorts that causes the spread of the network like wildfire. 
    D'Aprile states that we can't just simply "design our way out of (capitalism.)" From this point of view, we can understand that when it comes to politics, what we understand doesnt always apply. To the disbelief of many architects and students, what they do doesnt matter if the original network, i.e. capitalism, is corrupt and set on getting the rich richer, making the poor poorer, and telling those who cannot work that they do not belong to our society. 
    With our societies' existing issues, and us wanting to create a solution, we may not know if we are pouring water onto a grease fire until it happens. From our point of view, us being architecture students, we strive to do our best to aid our world and base our ideals for the future. What we may not know is that- we dont matter. It's not up to architects to change the world- its up to the people comissioning work, and the powerful ones being cities. A government building setting a precedent and a great example to its people is what can benefit the people. It always comes down to the governing bodies.
