what is first, [DUALITY in EXTREME]
what are first principles of architecture..? [the outside has to be
different than the inside]
does architecture have any first (universal) principles.. [refrain]
what kind of architecture does.. [the great pyramid is an, if not the, prime
example...there's not all that much architecture that is older except
perhaps the ever evaporating igloo]
[reading The Theory of Architecture by Paul-Alan Johnson] -- isn't Johnson
more the editor? isn't his Theory of Architecture a "loose" albeit carefully
thematic anthology? please relay any meaningful distinctions
(his theory is that theory does not lead architectural practice,
but that "Design-Talk" is the ultimate role of theory in relation
to practice. that is, a critical discourse as theory-practice..) -- and
please be specific here, i.e., provide some quotation(s)
does architecture value the pragmatics of theory/research in
terms of Design-Talk? [i think architecture would definitely value
Design-Talk, especially if the Design-Talk is well designed]
if I value the pragmatics of theory/design in terms of Design-Talk does that
make me architecture?
