Side Effect Of Colonoscopy

heterarchy

Architecture and domination. (Lebbeus Woods)




In the social sciences, space is often discussed in terms of man's presence there. In architecture, however, are the abstract qualities of space which highlights, for one reason understandable but not entirely forgivable: the architects are specialists in the formation of these qualities. One of the clichés associated with this approach is that the space is designed to be functional, which means, in the jargon architects, giving rough spaces designed a form designed for a "program" for human use.
This, of course, is absurd. Architects often design volumes of space straight, following the rules of Cartesian geometry, and anyone can see that such spaces are no more suitable for use as offices for a bedroom or a butcher. A space designed is in fact pure abstraction, more faithful to a mathematical system that any "function" of mankind. While the architects talk about design spaces that meet human needs, in fact it is these that are designed to meet space designed and the abstract system of thought and organization that is based design. In the case of Cartesian space, these systems include not only the mind-body dualism of Descartes, but also cause-effect determinism of Newton, the laws of logic of Aristotle and other theoretical constructs required by social and political powers of the moment . The design is a way of controlling human behavior and to maintain this control in the future. The architect is an officer in a chain of command whose most important task (from the point of view of institutions) is to describe spaces that otherwise would be abstract and "absurd" to "functions" are actually instructed people on how they behave in certain places and times. The plot of designed spaces, the city is an intricate plan of conduct that prohibits any kind of social interactions and therefore excluded, thoughts, and, where possible, the feelings of individuals.
A rectilinear volume of space called "conference room" requires that persons who occupy that space behave as a speaker or as audience. If someone violates these behaviors, for example, deciding to sing during the performance required to give or listen to a conference because the room has good acoustics, perfect for singing, then the public obedient listener, or speaker, and even the police if the offender does not stop, push the offender to street. Or, to cite a less conspicuous example, if one of the audience asks a question (during the question and answer session that usually follow the conference) too long, the public will try to silence the questioners compliant offender behavior in space requirements question. In some cases, ask a question with an ideological tendency "wrong" not banned and uncontrolled produce the same result. In extreme cases, that the police will intervene.
The justification for the removal of those who violate the behavior required for the occupation of designed space is quite clear. The social order must be maintained so that it can protect individual freedom (which for the most Parra is free to conform to social norms). Think of the poor lecturer, who no doubt has something interesting to say, interrupted by the singer, the guy who asks questions too long, which actually seeks to usurp the role of the speaker, by the thinker whose views heretical disrupt the balance carefully controlled and listen to the conference. The argument goes, if it violates the "feature space" and if such violation is tolerated, it could set a precedent, disseminated and threaten the whole mechanism of society. Anarchy. Chaos. Can not afford.
Poor architects, of course, are hardly aware of these conditions. Isolated on a specialized task, praised by higher authorities (clients, jury awards and social agencies of all types), for his talent in the manipulation of abstract qualities of space and forms of finidoras, and at the same time, meet people's needs (step reinforcing the behavior prescribed), architects can live with the illusion that they are the primary and most important artists that shape the space and its qualities for an appreciative audience (compliant) users. Consequently, in thought and speech of the architects, the formal qualities of space predominate over its human content, which is simply taken for granted. In the case of the conference hall, the architects discussed the subtleties of the proportions of space, lighting, use of materials, the lines of sight between the audience and the stage. They may relate to acoustic characteristics referring to his "duties", but never questions the premises of the "program" for space: the concept of "conference."
A great architect Mies van der Rohe, is able to raise the prevalence to the level of philosophical principle. He liked to say that the main architectural works of history were the temples of the ancient world, whose interior was not, or hardly human function. It was pure architecture, architecture and religion. His concept of "universal space", which resulted in some of the best modern buildings (their own) and also the worst (those of his imitators), also contained religious overtones. The architecture was something beyond life, or at least beyond the confusion of the lives led inside.
The issue of space.

WANDERING THE DREAM OF MAIN STREET (my Dew)


Cristián Warnken Thursday October 2, 2008


Main Street

They told us that was about to be paradise on earth, but we fall before our very eyes the "indestructible" Berlin Wall.
They told us that our cities were impregnable to terror, but we saw how the towers fell Twin rain turned into ashes.

They told us there would be no recession, which handled the finances alone, but we saw how the world's stock plummeted, as the wall, like the towers, as our dreams.

They are Wall Street. We're Main Street, the street, reality, men of flesh and bone, rising in the morning with an illusion, which go out to give all the sweat of their brows. We are those who weep or sing, we buy, taxpayers: those who "contribute" to our own lives upon the altars that they have raised.

And this is so since straight and we had to go hunting and fighting the cold, hunger and shortages. NN are the Neanderthal, Moscow, Santiago and New York. One day, long ago, they separated us and said: "We are the wizards, experts, magicians of the tribe. Give us your freedom." Sometimes they make us appear in a statistical graph, then we forget and ignore, and we passionately love again when elections approach. We are the ones who pay taxes, which finance their wars.

We give our faith and our savings, play with it at the casino, bet, crazy orgies of unbridled speculation and profiteering. They tell us now brought into the abyss again, and again ask us to go to their rescue. They do not shudder to put at risk the efforts of all our lives, so often denied us water and salt, and now, kneeling, we implore mercy.
Before an egalitarian society promised us and made us slaves of totalitarian hell. After convinced us that the market was the panacea for all human problems. Now we say the state has to save them. To them, the speculators.

always have speculated. Before speculating with political and philosophical theories. Now speculating in the stock values. Always have speculated with our lives, our blood, our dreams and our savings. And, like a flock hypnotized again and again, ended up following the cliff of the theory, which has nothing to do with the rough reality. They

yesterday, were the Party, State, God. Now Wall Street, the Market God. We're Main Street, the street, the shawl, the underdogs. Our grandparents suffered recessions in the flesh born of her unbridled ambition, and have always exceeded the limits of reality. It has taken us decades to recover from its economic and political experiments of his lies, his excesses. And now they claim that they also pay their last spree?

What would happen if we do not, and we drop this time, to know also what is the defeat and fear? What if we do not vote for them in the next election, and took our savings and put them away under the mattress, as did our grandmothers? What if we throw all at the same time, their usurious credit cards to the sea?
Yes, they fall once, you finally see the naked truth and not subsidized by our sweat and blood. That they get down your Olympus to Main Street, walk our streets, to sweat, to mourn and laugh with us, learn that there are stations that everything has its cycle, its rhythm, its limits. That fall the masks, and giant with feet of clay finally give the face of the great puppeteers Nothing!

Or return to give them a more-oh, patient herd-our coins and our faith?

Lauren London's Weave

NETWORK. THE CURRENT WORLD KNOW RELENTLESS


"... You're an old man who only thinks in terms of peoples and nations. There are no nations, there are no peoples. There are no Russians, no Arabs, no third worlds, and the West. There is only one large system of systems, one vast, interwoven wild, intercropping, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars, petrodollars, electrodólares, multidólares, marks, yen, pounds, francs, rubles. It is the international monetary system that determines the totality of life on this planet. That's the natural order of things today. That is the atomic structure and subatomic universal things that make up today. And you have meddled with the primitive forces of nature, and you should fix it ... I understand you Mr. Beale? ... You appear in his small 21-inch screen and scream about America and democracy. There is America, there is no democracy, there is only IBM, ITT, Dow, ATIT, Exxon, etc. Those are the nations of the world today .... What the Russians talk about in their councils of state ?...¿ De Karl Marx? ... No, linear programming systems, theories of economic statistics and computing costs of their transactions and investments as we do. We no longer live in a world of nations, ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations inexorably led by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled from the mud, and our children will live to see that Mr. Beale. A perfect world where there will be no war or famine, pressure, or brutality. A vast and ecumenical partner company in which all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men possess a number of actions, which will cover all needs are moderate all anxieties and are fun to not get bored. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale to preach the gospel ... (1) "
