Could you start posting your list of favorites? I think it might be a valuable resource.
Also, how do you expect language to evolve if the living continue to worry about those whose corpses have already re-entered the ecosystem via the entrails of worms and microorganisms?
Do you find comfort in kowtowing to the feet of giants? Dead ones?
A word entering the academic discourse of Architecture from a specific source does not preclude it from evolution.
You will find that most philosophical terms entering the discourse of architecture change shape slightly to fit the requirements of that language.
Its always annoying when people talk out of their asses in critiques, but its more annoying when pretentious people privilege the lexis of an outside discourse over that of architecture, in that moment.
privileging the lexicon of an outside discourse is not whats is in question or the dead people who used them but rather the indiscriminate use of language (that might actually hinder the evolution of the language) which you seem to have experienced
I appreciate your clarification. I have experienced the indiscriminate use of particularly abstract language, but who is to decide when an utterance is indiscriminate as opposed to a "mutation"?
