“Not until the emergence of capitalist economics, for example, were yearly increases in production demanded: production for profit, not people’s needs; exchange value, not use value,” (197).

“Although reason played a key role in political emancipation, imporved health and human betterment, nevertheless traditional skills and meaning in work were dimnished. (Ruskin and the Arts and Crafts movement recognised this and tried to resist. Loos wore brogues.),” (201).

“Architecture should respond to the spirit or history of a place and to human needs, using technology

appropriately rather than giving it rhetorical expression,” (153).

“Rather than directly emulate historical forms, he [Louis Kahn] engenders a sense of historical monumentality by exaggerating the scale and producing ‘imageable’ massive forms,” (165).

Robyn Sarah

It is possible that things will not get betterthan they are now, or have been known to be.It is possible that we are past the middle now.It is possible that we have crossed the great waterwithout knowing it, and stand now on the other side.Yes: I think that we have crossed it. Nowwe are being given tickets, and they are nottickets to the show we had been thinking of,but to a different show, clearly inferior.

Check again: it is our own name on the envelope.The tickets are to that other show.

It is possible that we will walk out of the darkened hallwithout waiting for the last act: people do.Some people do. But it is probablythat we will stay stead in our narrow seatsall through the tedious denouementto the unsurprising end - riveted, as it were;spellbound by our own imperfect livesbecause they are lives,and because they are ours.

CRISIS OF LIFE-WORLDRelation to Jane Jacobs; It is okay tobe okay; unexceptional, it is life.

“Modern man for a long time believed that sicence and technology had freed him from a direct dependence on places. This belief has provedan illusion; pollution and environmental chaos have suddenly appeared as a frightening nemisis,” (423)

Norberg-SchulzAbility to make the environment meaningful through the creation of specific placesArchitecture clarifies the location of human existance

FramptonFailure to distinguish between building and architectureOperations of capitalism, emphasizing short term planning, have produced a motopic suburban spral of maximum profit and maximum consumptionof land and energy
