Is a site about Architecture.
In it I will express freely my point of view on Architecture after a long
estrangement and a recent re-encounter through teaching.
My point of view will be vernacular, ecological, gothic, japanese, mediterranean, classical, modernistic, postmodern, futuristic, organic, geometric, emotional, subjective, philosophical, anthropological, artistic, political, personal, educational, contradictory, whimsical and dilettantish.
It will not be technological, financial, institutional, bureaucratic, academic, statistical, social, solemn, official, scientific or legalistic.
I will engage in speculation that may irritate the pundits in their pedestals but I couldn't care less for I know that as golden as they may shine, their feet are made of raw clay.
I have no idea what the site structure will be like. It
will come as it goes, growing like a tree and changing with the winds
and moods.
I will give you, the visitor, plenty of links, which I will try to organize
the best I can.
I will accept contributions, requested or spontaneous and I reserve the
right to reply openly to those that challenge my positions and the site's
philosophy.
