Laugier said, of what is needed in city design:
"There must be regularity and fantasy, relationshps and oppositions, and casual, unexpected elements that vary the scene; great order in the details, confusion, uproar and tumult in the whole."
From M.A. Laugier, Observations sur l'Architecture, the Hague, 1765
What is so lacking in the skyways, is the uproar and tumult. The confusion exists in not knowing where you are, of course.
