thinking
While religion might be for the most part absent from thinking about the site now (officially at least), the notion of worship is nonetheless still present.


twice
Or is it that you can't step into the exact same shopping center twice?


thinking
It became clear to me that although Charlie Rose "loves" architecture, he nonetheless has no or little knowledge of the jury system that resolution of architecture designs are (academically) formed by, a system that is ingrained in architectural training/thinking from the very start. And seeing the interaction last night made me begin to seriously wonder if the jury system is all that good (anymore), mostly because it (unwittingly?) perpetuates the notion that architects are their own best critics, while, as you suggest, coming across to the rest of the world, as their own worst enemies.


thinking
I was thinking a lot of Rome yesterday, and perhaps I now know why.


thinking
I wonder what would have happened if one of the chosen architecture teams proposed doing as little as possible for the time being. I'm thinking such a proposal would probably have gotten more attention than all the other proposals combined. It could even be nicknamed "the platitude of platitudes" design.


thinking
Mind you, I raised legitimate late antique issues, particularly the dating of Helena Augusta's death and the correct chronological sequence of Eusebius' Vita Constantini Book III, which shook up some otherwise staid thinking.


thinking
I don't think it's so much a separation of the mind from the senses after the age of four, rather the replacement of one's own way of thinking with the thinking of someone else after the age of four.


thinking
Haven't you yourself just based your thinking on a "fluid" boundary?


thinking
I raised the notion of liquid boundaries in addition to solid boundaries, and I was thinking specifically of how the virtual, as it is now-a-days manifest via the internet and cyberspace, is a liquid world in addition to the solid real world.


thinking
I don't believe your thinking or your work here to be mediocre. One just has to careful that one's criticisms cannot readily be used against oneself.


thinking
The Masolino Annunciation in the National Gallery got me thinking about why the column is right in the middle of the picture, and indeed divides the picture in half.

thinking
I'm going to finish At the End of an Age specifically to see how Lukacs' explanation of what 'just' happened compares with the chronosomatic explanation of what 'just' happened, namely that there was unrestricted expansion particularly of European culture/civilization/thinking, and that gross assimilation occurred in the process, that a distinct operational duality--the metabolic--began to be present, and that longer ranging structure was overall always independently in the background.


thinking
Try thinking beyond the stereotype. Also try thinking about what is not expected.


thinking
Yeah, I agree with your distinction between Eliade and Bataille concerning continous re/birth. You brought up an interesting facet of Bataille's thinking that had largely escaped me: his "uncanny sameness."


thinking
I can see this mode of thinking in the dualism of sacred/profane. So, instead of charting these two principles on a line, chart them on opposite ends of a circle with an implied directionality.


twice
It is very easy to change the Villa Savoye, for instance, by x factor of 2, a y factor of .5 and a z factor of 3--this will make the Villa Savoye twice as long, half as wide, and 3 times as high.


thinking
The notion that touch is the first sense to come about (and really what sense could have preceded it?) provides a firm place to start (thinking about beginnings).


thinking
I know my thinking is provocative, but hardly rambling, and the most pseudo things in this thread are all the pseudo names.


twice
My latest theory (which I think is unique so far) is that double basilicas simply accommodated bi-lingual congregations, namely Latin and Greek. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria and a prolific writer of Greek, was twice exiled to Trier for several years during the 330s-340s.


thinking
This is exactly why I have made so much of my searches and researches public via design-l and other lists (as well as at Quondam), because whether or not I was wrong or right at the time, at least I was being completely open about what I was thinking and formulating.


thinking
I'm thinking metabolic. I'm thinking reenactionary architecturism.


thinking
I (too) was watching Mars the past couple of nights from Cape May, New Jersey. I was also thinking about being extremely close to the Campo Marzio, the field of Mars on Earth.
