Re-make Re-model


So realising I'm no good at pensions, uninterested in investments, hopeless at insurance,  generally doom laden with regard to futures, and unable to deal with so called authority, I go back to something I can do which will actually help. You wouldn't believe how little information was at my disposal to make this scratch model of the gallery scheduled for Julie's retrospective in november. I'm really quite proud of myself that one weekend and thirty years of architectural experience enabled me to put it together, and it hardly stressed me out at all.

  1. Hi Paul, the other day your book surreptitiously appeared on the admin desk (a concept which amuses me) and I have to admit that I remove it immediately, knowing of course that there is no-one in the office that is capable of reading a Sainsbury’s ad. , never mind understanding one.
    I am reading your book and I am beyond Achilles and Hector. I love it. Its a breath of fresh air; the only Nietzschean reflection since Decline of the West and very much in the same vein.
    I love its tilt and thrust. It reminds me of more interesting times when theory was more than an ersatz intellectual dildo and we used to think of architecture as a productive engagement with the possibilities of human thought.
    You are right. Deus et natura - if God is nature, humanity is always and already a-natural; the unredeemable other, cast out and sniveling repentantly on the miserable edge of the universe.
