Writing in the context of the Cold War and the political activism of 1960s America, they identified possible design solutions to then-current social issues. In striking abstract drawings, Stevens visualized aspects of the urban environment, proposing a design philosophy she termed “free flow.” These diagrams give expression to both the “flow” of movement and points of “hesitations.”\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is a facsimile of \u003ci\u003eWorld of Variation\u003c\/i\u003e, accompanying the MIT Museum’s exhibition on the work of Mary Otis Stevens.\u003cbr\u003eBorn in New York in 1928, \u003cb\u003eMary Otis Stevens\u003c\/b\u003e is considered one of the most important female American postwar architects.
