You write:
Culture is always LOCAL, it is never GLOBAL, trade and industry may be.
I agree with this sentences but THINK it has to be formulated differently today. Trade and industry think t…
I believed architecture; in the first place, like food, clothes, shelter, language, visual and performing arts, is an expression of culture, its basis being “shelter”. Culture is always LOCAL, it is never GLOBAL, trade and industry may be.

Deals with global research into the evolution of habitat and architecture as evolution of culture.

A very strong opinion indeed and one would wonder why!!! if you don't like it fine that is your opinion and you are welcome to it. Looking at your page I can understand it not appealing to you or your taste.
I on the other hand I think it's fantasti…
"i repeat....The Pritzker Architecture Prize"
Why don't you move to the WA Community where architectural quality is suggested by some sort of mega lottery! I assume they are waiting for you, the 6th session is just beginning with thousands of Pritz…
Regarding Peter Zumthor's Saint Benedict Chapel: I really can't relate to this. From outside it looks like a fodder silo of a farmhouse. No window except under the roof! The floor is about 6 meters in the air hanging within the tower, elevator feeli…

Regarding Peter Zumthor's Saint Benedict Chapel: I really can't relate to this. From outside it looks like a fodder silo of a farmhouse. No window except under the roof! The floor is about 6 meters in the air hanging within the tower, elevator feeling, prisoner atmosphere!

The Human concept of space looks back on a long historical or anthropological evolution and it is not homogeneous like universal space, but functions according to human conditions, movement and rest, or… Continue

- Hello Nold, how are you? I appreciate your contributions to the network. Are you engaged in further research at the moment? I have been travelling a lot (so I'm somewhat erratic here) and writing a manifesto on the spatial dynamics of political power.
