Lecture by Peter Carl

horizonts of architecture


(Dalibor Vesely @ Cambridge) 
Useful skepticism
contest for authority between the house & ...(!?)
distribution of orders & goods (=city) 
statistical stacking of bricks & people
the world happens in the peripheral vision
architecture is at disguise of this peripheral order


(woods versus council housing facade)


ritual is time out of time
enforces the order in temporarity 


(facade of a square as a built up of the rest of the city behind the facades) 


I can save you a lot of reading between early and late Heidegger and say it in one sentence. 
traditions = the deposit the depth
dialog gets born in conversation
I could have a burger here on the screen, but i couldn't eat it. 
Thematises the context as content
FREEDOM_FOR
It is possible to invent language, but dont bet on being understood
This particular construction begun just before the millennium, early 10th century


(window - outlook onto mountains completing murals on the rest of the walls)

Horizont creates the context to which it refers

Horizont above his eyes & below her eyes
Poststructuralism is basically fiddling with a dotted line. 
wall articulation
it invents the gravity (Michelangelos sculptures in church)
Michelangelo overcomes what practically is a digram (the church) 

leap 400 years - early 20th century - the advent of space.
Freedom for which all content has to be supplied. 
Architecture is a hostage to space.   !?
I grew up at architecture school calling the ground the ground p l a n e . 



(spot 7 differences, Ronchamp & Corbusiers love's face)




Put him behind her (line up two people from two different paintings(to get meaning)) !!

Le corb. using symbols, most architects dont do it no more. FORM IS FINE   (:)))) 
Cultural buildings in Vienaa, ALL of them have to be approached by gigantic stair. 
Hedonistic individuals on service grid. 
City gives definitive direction to nature. 


City is about people who only partially get it, or dont get it at all. 


arch as .... - sets horizonts
arch as act -  scenes of hospitality     ???!!


I have no problem moving directly to hospitality or answer some questions. 








No questions
