In tracing a visual urban history of dynamic central city neighborhoods a common misconception is made: “then and now”, “now and then”. Discontinuity and loss seem the primary effect as space and time are ripped asunder by this binary, linear view.
Upon a second, and maybe third viewing, the tension between “past” and “present” reveal the continuous effects of changing forces in place. What is now, is—because of then. Wind, water, sun, lines drawn on maps, an array of human desires, habits, and follies have effects. This array of forces, each with their own temporality, inter-act. Unfolding urban form, materiality in movement, time-out-of-joint.
