They faced the growing hegemony of what he called "the barbarians." Those who disrupt the conventions of civilization and create new frontiers. He thinks, now, in all areas. Increasingly, the pursuit of spectacle (experience) prevails, effort is reduced in favor of pleasure, horizontal (shallow) prevails over vertical (deep), the collective trumps the individual, and networks proliferate...to move, communicate and connect. In all these revolutionary fronts, despite their real appearance, the blissful constancy of confusion stands out. Before history, before nature, before technology, before faith, before borders... This is the hallmark of our time. And our space. Due to the dynamic complexity that surrounds us, humanity has once again unleashed its enormous potential for confusion. The necessary conditions are in place to expect a huge renaissance of creativity. A few days ago, an architectural blog revealed - rather questionable - the existence of a building in New York with two entrances: a "poor man" entrance on the side, and another on the main facade, through which the wealthiest people can access . The article points out that even though "the United States has long since desegregated," New York's Department of Conservation and Development recently decided to sanction separate buildings based on economic class, "for obvious reasons," heading toward a divided city.
While we do face clear examples of undemocratic architecture, I believe that criticism of such architecture cannot be carried away by simple "obvious reasons". Architecture itself is the embodiment of social behavior. If the building has UAE Email List two doors it is because it is executed within a social system that values/allows such behavior - we cannot say they are good. The relationship between social form and architectural form is so closely linked that we cannot clearly see whether it is changes in building materials, technology, etc. that cause social changes, or the latter. New architecture is needed. To be sure, new forms—social or architectural—enable new spatial practices. To simply point out that we face a new case of social discrimination - whether racial or economic - without understanding it in a wider context, pays little attention to certain realities that are also present in our daily lives, but Its roots include close decisions. For those mentioned here. John Thorpe designed Beaufort House in Chelsea, for example, and Robin Evans in his. The famous book Doors and Walks explains the origins and evolution of corridors, among other things. At first glance, we think of corridors, corridors or distributors - as we now understand them - as an obvious part of many houses.
Nonetheless, Evans points out, "it first appeared in Beaufort House in Chelsea, England, designed by John Thorpe." Before that, different rooms of the house were connected to each other by doors. With the rise of the bourgeoisie, new spatial conditions were required. Services no longer need to occupy and traverse the owner's personal space. Corridors avoid undesirable intrusions of any kind: “Corridors are for servants: keep them out of the way of other people and, more importantly, keep them out of the way of ladies and gentlemen. The introduction of corridors into domestic architecture was first introduced in the upper social classes and in the lower classes A deep divide was left between social classes, which maintained direct continuous access to privileged family circles, while servants were assigned to limited contiguous areas, but never within the house itself; always present, but never unless needed. Won't show up." Even though this was centuries ago, social segregation due to one's economic status still exists. Let's think about the many houses that exist in our cities. Several of them have bedroom spaces used for services. Art is an example. Ortiz collected and documented various architectural examples from different eras in the city of Lima, showing that despite the years, society had not changed much.
