Cite 19
Winter 1987
Editor’s Note
This issue of Cite does not include a note from guest editor Natalye Appel and it covers a wide range of topics. In "Illuminations of the Ephemeral City," Bruce C. Webb writes:
"Perhaps we should stop making our public places and our public monuments in concrete and steel. We have enough of them already. Instead, let's set to work turning the city into a continually evolving festival, one which will catalyze and recipher what is already there. Give the local artists and architects, and sometimes an invited outsider, the chance to make the city over and over again with projects which reuse, re-view, and re-line the functional city. Then when someone asks for the locations of Houston's great civic monuments and ceremonial spaces, the city tour guides, having lived through no periods of great beliefs or enduring accomplishments, would refer him to both a map and a calendar and tell him he missed a great one last week, but if he hurries he may still be able to catch something going on in the parking lot at Almeda Mall."
