A shamanistic fessure to catch a fleeting truth
Architectural schools extend ideology unknowingly. We have lost the primary sources essential to architectural thinking and making, that is a means of grasping, intellectually ad imaginatively, the small, evanescent details that reveal a fleeting truth. Architecture educators have allowed architecture and design to develop separately. The ideological construct of a scale through which we distinguish a building from its landscape, sublets the fractal nature of cities, which is a conversion of outer to inner — a matter of “emergence” rather than causal chains. The city embodies the human essence, the will to exist not just in the face of, but also through self-destruction. Architecture’s origins are in the shamanistic construction of fissures that allow us to make shadows to be measured with a precise musical geometry and sung to create the Real of the world.
