With this&mdash;and not to say by any means that all struggles are valid&mdash;the point is still quite clear. It is the struggle that matters, not the result. It is the activity that counts, not where it leads. It is, as we tell children who lose a ball game, all about participation; it&rsquo;s about moving, staying fit, agile; it&rsquo;s about always being in flux.&nbsp;</p> https://archinect.com/features/article/150008484/introducing-archinect-s-new-critical-debate-forum-cross-talk Introducing Archinect's New Critical Debate Forum 'Cross-Talk' Anthony George Morey 2017-05-22T14:09:00-04:00 >2018-08-18T13:01:04-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/jd/jdwv9o01xkwsjx63.gif" border="0" /><p>The last four-plus decades have seen formidable developments in the discipline of architectural history and theory. This prolific production was disseminated publicly primarily through text-based mediums such as <em>Oppositions</em>, <em>Log</em> and <em>Assemblage</em>&mdash;among countless others. But now, the emergence of new media and platforms have dramatically changed the form and pace with which architectural ideas are transmitted. The slow pace of traditional text-centric publishing appears to be losing ground to the rapid production and transmission of images.
