    Architecture is NOT A SERVICE -----please ask the AIA and see what they say.

    think about this---words make images, images make spaces. space makes architecture, architecture makes history, history makes time, time makes space.

    Concrete poetry begins by assuming a total responsibility before language: accepting the premise of the historical idiom as the indispensable nucleus of communication, it refuses to absorb words as mere indifferent vehicles, without life, without personality without history — taboo-tombs in which convention insists on burying the idea.:

     

    This is an intro into a larger question, the intent is to question the Foundation of Architecture and decipher what makes the specific knowledge of space even important.  The future of this practice is becoming more driven by the virtual and atmospheric disciplines and now affects all understanding the old de_constructive tectonics. The media scape of this movement has propounded a formalism for all new schools of design. 

    1- who really needs ana_architecture ?

    2- who really wants a new type of ana_architecture

    3- who invented the term "ana-architecture"

    4- why even bother to understand a cryptic word where ambiguity and esoteric rhetroic reigns-ANA_ARCH 

    5-  how can one really teach/preach/instruct  "ana-architecture" as a speculative endeavor within the praxis of this phrase

    6- what is the future direction of this fee based commercial capital architect profession ? architecture is NOT a service call, it is a blood sport where college student offer them selves as human slaves.

    7- is social transformation really the function of architecture ?

    8-  what happens if you take the computer away from the public ?

    9-VkHUTMAS.UNOVIS, OSA or Organization of Contemporary Architects, ASNOVA group (Association of New Architects) --the seeds of academic training

About this Blog

We want to examine,discuss, and research new paradigms, new spaces, new structures, and new modes of construction. We are looking to 1988-1998 to see how the digital and pre digital has played out. We are tired of seeing the architect- provide a service and we are eager to see the Architect as Master Builder.
