At the end of last year the titles boosted that “it was fun till the money ran out” – an insightful article by Nicolai Ouroussouf that recently came to my attention. Now, it seems like starchitects are indeed being caught in a spell of bad luck.
It is only too obvious in the major scheme of things that the CCTV hotel, by OMA, had to go down in a fire set by a Chinese new year firecracker. That’s what I would call a ill omen joke.

i’m a bit more apocalyptic: “it’s the end of the world as we know it (and i feel fine)”.
o que me interessa aqui são as consequências culturais desta Crise, supimpa e deliciosamente assinalada por este incidente que é bem capaz de ser simbólico. algo morre, algo começa aqui.

Olá Pedro, bem aparecido nos blogues.
Viste a resposta ao artigo que referes dos Architecture for Humanity: “We Regret We Missed the Party. We Were Too Busy Working”
http://www.architectureforhumanity.org/updates/2008-12-21-a-letter-to-the-new-york-times
Escrevi sobre estes dois textos para a A21. Já o temos online no site do atelier.
Um abraço
Parece-me muito bem. Acabei de descobrir a A21 nas bancas – espantosamente não fazia a mínima ideia que ia sair – e, depois de a folhear, estou a escrever uma “carta ao director” de impressões sobre a crise… Logo, retribuirei a tua visita! 😉
isso é que me parece bem, “as impressaões sobre a crise”.
