		The Jon Jerde equivalent to the Ford Model T is an urban project that begins with a theme, works up a theatrical experience, builds the necessary stage sets, designs an architecture that can support the sets, and then searches for programs and activities to pay for and fill up and enhance the whole superstructure.
		Jerde has not only turned this logic inside out; he has made it work in the real world, a feat that, unlike the European effort to shift paradigms through experimental design and theoretical debate, is the haunted showman’s way of getting his point across.
		The scary Jerde sketches—which in fact are fragments from endless sagas and alchemical formulae, sketches that form the basis for the projects—are reduced to sympathetic artistic doodlings that accompany the photos.

	TIME Asia Print Page: The Great Mall of China -- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Oblivious to the elements, Jon Jerde bounces off the cobblestones on the balls of his feet, relishing the bustling energy of Old Shanghai—the dappled grace of the upturned eaves, the fragrance wafting from the Yuyuan gardens, the lovers posing for photos on the magnificent stone bridge.
		Jerde's projects—so generous in their use of gardens, amphitheaters and open space—do not often add up to the greatest possible amount of leasable square footage.
		Through the scaffolding, the fanciful geometry of Jerde's sprawling village center is only hinted at: the brightly colored façades cheerfully arranged like a giant set of children's blocks, a boulevard wending its way through the project as playfully and haphazardly as a toddler's toy train, the curvature of the walls broken by crooked spires.

	USC Trojan Family Magazine - Summer 2001: Urban Legend
		One afternoon Jerde was on an errand in a building inspector’s office when a dignified-looking man, curious about the bundle of sketches tucked under the young worker’s arm, asked to have a look.
		Jerde – whom friends describe as gregarious but a loner – yearned for the stimulation of being part of a crowd.
		It was there that Jerde had the epiphany that would drive him away from the rigid Modernism he was steeped in as a student.

	Archinect : Discussion Forum : Jerde Partnership - what's your take?
		Jerde is absolutely prolofic, but much of his work centers around consumer culture, benefitting from our epoch's over-saturation of consumption...BUT...
		many of the developments here (tokyo) are based on the jerde model of consumer culture supporting urban housing and lifestyles, but the tendency tends to be towards keeping folks away from the area who are not wealthy.
		While jerde has done some good things in tokyo, arguably creating places to g to that simply didn't exist before he did his magic, the truth is that he is also erasing a very important part of japanese (and human) culture.

	Destination: Downtown \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		With Horton Plaza, architect Jon Jerde (in his Los Angeles office) dared to turn urban malls into magnets for people, for shopping or not.
		Jon Jerde, who leads the firm, recently talked about Horton Plaza by phone from his office in Los Angeles with Union-Tribune architecture critic Ann Jarmusch.
		What I'm saying to ordinary people is I'm going to give them what they've been hoping for for years: a communal place of their own and the space between to experience the theater of their lives.

	Wired 7.11: Arcadia
		To enter one of architect Jon Jerde's developments is to stroll through a metropolitan kaleidoscope.
		From Universal CityWalk in LA to Canal City Hakata in Fukuoka, Japan, and the Beursplein in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, his flashy, ultracapitalist venues thrill passersby, attract streams of tourists, and horrify the cultural elite.
		Part of that disarray, Jerde contends, stems from the common belief that the city and nature are separate, distinct.

	Feature
		Jerde works with an overstated flourish, playfully blurring reality and artifice, as he lays the foundation of a new architectural discipline: experiential design.
		Jerde also created Universal CityWalk, a glitzy promenade in LA. Among those who Jerde consults during previsualization: filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and sci-fi scribe Ray Bradbury.
		Jerde knows that a veneer of theatricality can be unpopular - instead, he creates a middle ground between flesh and fantasy that's held together with steel and concrete.

	Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum - Resurrection Architecture or Secrets To Downtown Revitalization
		Jerde is keeping most of that vision under wraps for now, but his body of work -- from Horton Plaza, the landmark complex that spurred revitalization of downtown San Diego, to the recent development of UP's railyard in Salt Lake City -- provides plenty of clues.
		According to Jerde's mantra, the buildings in any project are less important than "the places in between," where people walk, sit, gather, talk and create a community.
		Though Jerde usually works for a development company, Poulos said, "we actually work for the people because we are creating the places that those people fantasize about." In Sacramento's railyard, he said, the group would work directly for the people because Jerde would be the developer.

		In a lengthy February 2002 Los Angeles Times Magazine profile on Jon Jerde by Ed Leibowitz, Jerde's friend Robert Timme, dean of the University of Southern California architecture school, says he is convinced that Jerde will be recognized as one of the significant architects of our day.
		Leibowitz, who shadowed Jerde for more than a year, writes of the designer: "The critical assault on Jerde amounts to this: His architecture is a parody of a city, with all the grit and complexity wiped away.
		Jerde's Gateway project in Salt Lake City has been hailed as an economic savior and condemned for its garish design.

		The couple has been collaborating at the tightly-knit Jerde Partnership architectural firm for over a decade now, applying the vision of Jon Jerde to projects abroad, within the United States, and right here in the Palisades, where they've lived for 10 years.
		Jon Jerde founded the Jerde Partnership in 1977 based on his vision of creating unique places 'where interesting things happen and people gather to experience a sense of community.' The firm first introduced the revolutionary idea of 'placemaking' when it revitalized an abandoned six-block site in downtown San Diego, now known as Horton Plaza.
		The Jerde team used terrazzo (mosaic flooring or paving) and natural light for the open-air city, whose building roofs are angled to create a dome shape.

	ARCH'IT files / Universal City Walk. Displacement of Heterotopia
		In this simulated urban experience (2), to be lived under tightly regulated conditions, a circular plaza hinges together two blocks of restaurants, retail stores, nightclubs, bars, theaters, offices and classrooms that stretch along a promenade connecting an 18-screen movie theater with the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, tour and amphitheater.
		People appear to take delight in the urban-pedestrian theme, replicated in many of Jon Jerde's projects (from Horton Plaza in San Diego, California to the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota) and "derive considerable satisfaction from the crowd milieu" (8).
		But we are probably deceived by the idea that the control planned by the modernist Le Corbusier has now been superseded by the post-modern idiosyncrasy of Jon Jerde.

		To accomplish this, they called the Jerde Partnership, a firm that had already demonstrated its commitment to designing 'places,' not merely buildings.
		Bounded by this common vision, Fukuoka Jisho and the Jerde Partnership negotiated language and cultural differences, one of Japan's worst economic recessions, internal disagreements, and numerous redesigns in a co-creative process that yielded a unique architectural outcome.
