Her var jeg stødig på hendene gitt, ble riktig overrasket over meg selv👍 Men spøk til side, for det er dette som er framtidas by, da Venezia er det ypperste mennesket har skapt av urban kultur gjennom alle tider, med god margin!
Selv har jeg blitt helt ødelagt av Norge, det emosjonelle misbruket av våre byer, bygder og natur har satt meg fullstendig ut, jeg orker ikke mer. Det som nå skjer med Frøya er et absolutt endelikt for Norge som nasjon. De som klarer å leve videre som normalt etter dette, er enten fascister eller psykopater, og har tapt all humanisme.
Så jeg trekker meg helt ut, får jeg ikke med kona til Tolfa, får jeg prøve å finne et bortgjemt sted på Toten. Makter rett og slett ikke å reise mer rundt i vårt voldtatte land, fascistene, psykopatene og modernistene får ha det for seg selv, så får jeg holde på med bruddstykke-fotografering.
Already the fashion that would be taste has its academy, far more rigid and orthodox than the old classical academy. Without a single exception education in the nation’s architectural schools is confined to the “form follows function” approach. Textbooks have been written according to Modern strictures, and lately an emasculated form of history has been admitted to provide a prop for today’s originality. Yet with all their orthodoxy and power, ensconced as they are in key positions in museums, architectural firms, and schools, the Modernists remain uneasy. They who once prided themselves on being rebels are no longer rebellious. Against whom can the heroes of this “permanent revolution” raise their swords? All is not comfort in the bare office whose very aspect is a sign of weakness. Their contempt for the past and the living world about them, as a former trustee of the American Academy in Rome remarked to the author, is the best evidence by far that we are witnessing a temporary craze. No doubt there will be plenty of high blood pressure when the inevitable change takes place, but it will not stop the coming of a new architecture, new painting, and new sculpture when taste in its traditional sense, i.e., knowledge of the best examples of classical art, once again takes command. -Henry Hope Reed (1915-2013)
By Christopher Alexander . Original text at First Things . Rose trellis of Generalife. It has taken me almost fifty years to understand fully that there is a necessary connection between God and architecture, and that this connection is, in part, empirically verifiable. Further, I have come to the view that the sacredness of the physical world—and the potential of the physical world for sacredness—provides a powerful and surprising path towards understanding the existence of God, whatever God may be, as a necessary part of the reality of the universe. If we approach certain empirical questions about architecture in a proper manner, we will come to see God. It comes from realizing that the task of making and remaking the Earth—that which we sometimes call architecture—is at the core of any commonsense understanding of the divine. Only in the last twenty years has my understanding of this connection taken a definite form, and it continues to develop every day....
Jeg hadde helt glemt hvor flott det er i Øvre Årdal, hvor Utladalen må være noe av det råeste norsk natur har å by på. Nordmenn har imidlertid i beste fall blitt en parodi, med nidstanga på Sløvåg kai i Gulen, som det perfekte symbol på nidlandet Norge. Uansett, blir vi jaget fra kværnenga vår, hvilket ville vært en lettelse, får vi ta en mellomstasjon i Øvre Årdal før det sørvestre Frankrike, hvor dette vil være et ideelt utgangspunkt for å avslutte Norge for godt.

Og pizzaen var kjempegod, hvor vi ble mette alle sammen. I tillegg var vi innom biblioteket, som er det flotteste biblioteket vi har vært på noen gang, med enormt mye bøker, magasiner og en haug med splitter nye filmer på DVD. Slik at vi lånte med oss en stor bunke DVDer hjem,...
From the PLANETIZEN May 24, 2010 Nikos Salingaros presents the case for demolishing a modernist eyesore in Rome and replacing it with a high-density, mixed-use New Urbanist neighborhood. The Corviale building outside Rome is a social housing block that exemplifies the established Corbusian tradition of treating human beings as battery chickens. It was built during 1972-1982 as a single one-kilometer-long building. It is now estimated to house 6,000 people. Apologists who are nostalgic of Soviet-era social experiments continue to defend its paradigmatic modernist design on the grounds that every resident is EQUALLY oppressed in this inhuman environment, an ideal consistent with totalitarian notions of social equality.
