manifesto (again)

picture flicker's ordinary architecture pool, thanks leopold






the original manifesto:

I am interested with ordinary architecture.

Ordinary architecture is aspirin, it gives comfort but not rescue.

The best ordinary architecture is insignificant, light, empty, and discreet.

Ordinary architecture is about compromising, blending sharing; it is not about occupying provoking and highlighting. 

Ordinary architecture is as complicated as real life. 

i had no idea what "ordinary architecture" is when i used that term. i was questioning authority of architects at that time, using ordinary is to induce people to think that architecture is not a big deal, and then to justify my negative attitude. ordinary architecture is not useless, but anything is better with some uselessness. 

new manifesto here:

I am interested with ordinary architecture the uselessness of architecture.

Ordinary architecture useless architecture is aspirin, it gives comfort but not rescue.

The best ordinary architecture useless architecture is insignificant, light, empty, and discreet.

Ordinary architecture useless architecture is about compromising, blending sharing; it is not about occupying provoking and highlighting. 

Ordinary architecture useless architecture is as complicated as real life ordinary.
