North Texas Station Master Plan
Although the hypothesis set forth by Gregotti
was developed in an earlier period of time, the
task of “building in between what is already
built” is essential to the revitalization of the post-
industrial American city today and to the idea of
architecture as a mechanistic device for urbanism.
“No new architecture can arise without modifying
what already exists, but the interest surrounding
the notion of modifi cation in recent years is
not based on such an obvious consideration, at
least if we view modifi cation as recognizing the
importance of what exists as structural material,
rather than mere background, during the design
process.”
Therefore, the architecture of modifi cation is born
out of the realization of context as something
perceivable, tangible, and editable. By way of this
defi nition architecture becomes intrinsic to urban
intervention, seeking to reveal a specifi c truth
of both the present state of a site and the site
in relationship to its geographical and historical
context.
For this investigation, the main issues in question
appertain to a revitalization of the contemporary
American city within its existing context, with
a disregard to the current building trend of
expansion and sprawl. Much of the inspiration
for this research can be attributed to the theory
of Vittorio Gregotti, regarding architecture as
modifi cation, and the practice of Manuel De Sola-
Morales, regarding techniques of what he refers
to as urban acupuncture.
Through a series of writings, architect Vitorrio
Gregotti develops both theory and strategies
of architecture as he examines the role of the
modernist project in late twentieth-century
building. “The principal drive of development
now addresses the transformation of the urban
and territorial issues, rather than the foundation
of the new.
The conditions of the 80’s and 90’s will be that of
building in between what is already built.” Much
of the historically signifi cant density in U.S. cities
has suff ered depletion due to recent factors of
social and economic decline, particularly in post-
industrial contexts. These factors, among others,
have led to an increase of sprawl and a decrease
of urban density in current development.
