Wasn't it someone such as Aldo Rossi who merely reiterated the point
that architecture was about more substantial issues as memory, time
and recollection, geometry and its place in the city, than issues such
as "form" and "function". People such as John Tsuchiya only make me
feel sorry for their incredibly blinkered and reductionist viewpoints:
architecture, like any system of knowledge, is prone to creation, change
and complexity and depth of conceptual matter. To try to bring it all
down to whether it all hinges on dogma is as useful as King Canute trying
to stop the waves crashing on the coast of England. Continue in your
ignorance and accept beliefs as they are. I try to accept that the problems
are to be understood and then see what can be done in a more elastic
situation.As Heraclitus wrote(540-480BC):
IN searching out the truth be ready for the unexpected, for it is difficult
to find and puzzling when you find it.
Continue to be puzzled, don't trot out cliches!!
