Making the Garden — Christopher Alexander

Image
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....

Øvre Årdal som mellomstasjon & Grythengen som en forvrengt, fransk landsby

Image
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,...

Tear Down the Corviale! New Urbanism Comes to Rome

Image
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.
