From the Description:
"We live in an era where logistical systems have become central to how we work and live. We now think nothing of dropping a priority package in a drop box in Chicago at 9:30pm knowing it will arrive in L.A. by 7:30am the next morning. Talking in real time with a friend in a remote location via video-telephony is taken for granted, using nanosecond transmission signals is fundamental in the financial industry, while ordering groceries with an app and having them delivered later the same day is the norm rather than the exception. Given there is so much material and information flow in and around the spaces we inhabit, one could argue that infrastructural systems and their associated procedures are now the primary shapers of the urban environment. Yet, there are few, if any, intellectual models in place for architecture to contemplate the city from this perspective."
“The Rule of Logistics,” Logistics, Flow, and Contemporary Urbanism: A conversation with Keller Easterling, Jesse LeCavalier, and Clare Lyster, Cabinet
Panel discussion at Cabinet related to recently released books on Nov 15, 2016, including Jesse's "The Rule of Logistics".
From the description
The field of logistics, which seeks to optimize the flow of materials, people, and data across the globe, dominates contemporary life, modifying not just our infrastructure and physical spaces but also our subjectivity and modes of behavior. We demand that our Amazon package be sent cross-country overnight; that fresh roses from Colombia appear at the local deli within days of being cut; and that an Uber car pick us up in a matter of minutes.
Increasingly, the field of logistics is gaining scholarly traction in the design disciplines. Through work on supply chain systems, data networks, new forms of delivery, and the politics of logistical space, architects and urban theorists are not only exploring how logistical networks format urban territory but are employing logistical processes to examine contemporary space.
