post-critical, post-ideological, post-political, post-historical, post-urban,post-capitalist...sounds like just another day at the office...

That comment would have been more appropriate before Archinect became post-skeptical.

Somol and Whiting's article is from an issue of Perspecta. If you check the MIT Press website, you can find out the issue number, and then go to your library, read it, etc. etc. The Michael Speaks article is probably an editorial from Architectural Record ... he is on editorial board of that magazine, and publishes some type of giddy, post-critical thing every couple of months.

Hope this helps.

Actually, I have a copy of the Speaks article ... he talks about how practices like FOA, MVRDV, Crimson employ market strategies, etc, that make them competitive in the new economy.

Thanks for the heads up (I looked up the Perspecta issue). I would love to get a copy of the Speaks article if you have it in digital form (PDF, DOC...).

...My email is posted in my profile if you feel so inclined...

business employing market strategies. sheet. well what ll they think of next? t-shirts? nah...

is that burt reynolds?

you can also look for the projective landscape conference online that happened a couple months ago. it was like an archi-theory playas ball. There are qt movies on line of all the lectures, red carpet entrances and pimp and ho of the year award presentations.

The Speaks article is from Arch Record, Aug 2002, but you can also find it in A+U, Dec 2002.
Here are some articles from HDM:

You should also check out Log 5, the 'hijacked' issue edited by Somol & Whiting and Log 7, the response.

Look dude, are you gonna read about doing stoopid architecture or are you gonna just do it?

just do it dude,

cuz you can.

I love how smack in the middle of the Projective Landscape web site it says " I won't say much about it, just check out the pictures:"

then the pictures are all of them.

they could have at least had some diagrams of lilly pads or some shit.

Do you you think it's a test of how post-critical you can be. Like, "if you think this is absurd then you're being critical and that's sooooo not cool any more"

cuz they said,

cuz they can

Sorry: the Speaks article is from Jan 2002, not Aug 2002.
