FSP 1.1: Wallmart on Stilts

June 26, 2002

Wallmart on Stilts

The Dallas Plan Commission unanimously rejected
plans for a Wal-Mart Supercenter on Thursday.

The combination discount center and grocery
store, which would feature parking below an
elevated retail area, would be a departure from
Wal-Mart's typical suburban stores. The
retailing giant touted the store as a unique
urban concept.

Dingbat The building type most profoundly destructive to pedestrian frontage. A
building is raised on columns in order to maximize parking underneath. This type
inadvertently created by C.S.D. codes which key the allowed building area to the
quantity of parking accommodated on-site. P.N.D. codes specifically preclude this
type. A private building which denies typological discipline without functional
justification or is otherwise disruptive to the urban fabric. Modernist buildings
tend to extremes of articulation and heterogeneity of tectonic expression tend to
be Dingbats, as the modernist design process values unconstrained invention
over emulation or urban determinants. P.N.D. Codes attempt to preclude
Dingbats except with public and civic buildings, which are expected to be fully
expressive of the institutions they embody.

(dingbats in los angeles: )

* floating:
They were called dingbat houses because of the quick and shoddy way they
were constructed. Frank Carroll: Three room house, living room, bedroom and
bathroom. The crew was two men and they put the frame up and the plywood
and the roof and had it ready to go in a day and a half and if you wanted your
windows you put em in and screens you put em in and any other finishing you
wanted done. You may leave in the morning and yours was the last house on the
block, and come home and there were two more just below yours, now yours
was not the last house on the block. The dingbat houses were a great
improvement over the squatters' camps, but the ragged construction style
created hazards of its own. Dust blew in through the cracks in the walls and
doorways, piling up against the houses, creating small dunes throughout the
neighborhood. Pat Lappin: That was the worst for the women besides the heat.
They couldn't put the babies on the floor because it was so splintery. About the
first thing they did when they got a paycheck was to get congoleum for the floor.
And of course that helped the dust problem but at least their kids could crawl
around w/o getting splinters.
