"The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible."
(George Orwell)

REM KOOLHAAS, SMLXL:
"If there is to be a ‘new urbanism’ ... it will be the staging of uncertainty"

Quantum City develops a cross-disciplinary conceptual language that when applied to urban design in particular, provides powerful insights into the growth and self-organisation of cities at different scales.

The new language thus permits a higher degree of integration between the different disciplines of the city, and promises to be a useful metaphor for the development of various theories for the 21st century city.
