rita.....drive through the suburban landscape and it becomes obvious that capitalism and globalism have assimilated our 'discipline.' architecture is increasingly the deployment of pastiche that is used to define markets and capitalize on trends in which the consumer is assimilated. the average architect is merely a tool for assimilation.
listen to architects talk about their projects and it becomes obvious that they operate under the assumption that the 'observer' is to be assimilated.......bound up in a prescriptive or ontological reading of architecture based hierarchically and repressively on the creator's intentions.
it is all about assimilation!
