Interesting how it wasn't even acid itself that inspired "a new thing called acid-tecture." And...
"Who knows, maybe 100 years from now architecture will be like multiple choice..."

The new $2.5 billion plan to rebuild the historic Penn Station
I'm sure it will be considered too stylish, but I'd love to see some neo-baroque touches incorporated.

Architecture Critic Mark Lamster: "We systemically encourage bad building."
The real problem is that new development isn't junky enough.
"Junky is so uniquely 21st century. I love all of it!"

Architecture Critic Mark Lamster: "We systemically encourage bad building."
"Oh yes, 'Junky Architecture' is indeed uniquely 21st century, but aren't you also glad to see how 22nd century architecture is now even "Junkier"? I mean, I'm like ecstatic over it!"
And if "silly memes" killed the "Folk Art demo opposition," then the "Folk Art demo opposition" must have been a featherweight and the "silly memes" a heavyweight.

Don't just embrace the junk, make it junkier!

Interview : March 22, 2014
...also coincidently this morning, was reading "Deleuze's transcendental empiricism" in Continental Philosophy: A Contemporary Introduction, and towards the end of the chapter "eternal return" comes up. Turns out the passages revolve around quotations from Deleuze's Difference and Repetition:
"Eternal return, in its esoteric truth, concerns--and can concern--only the third time of the series. Only there it is determined. That is why it is properly called a belief of the future, a belief in the future." (DR 90)
"The present is the repeater, the past is repetition itself, but the future is that which is repeated." (DR 94)
So just now I looked more into the 90-94 pages of Difference and Repetition, and I'm going to continue reading there. I've owned DR for 18 years now, but I never read much of it. Now I see some potential fruitfulness as to it relating to the notion of "Eternal Wrest will have to do with reenacting with a twist as a constant generator of originality."
Wrest is itself a fruitful word: 1 a : to pull, force, or move by violent wringing or twisting movements 2 : to gain with difficulty by or as if by coercive force, or steady determined labor 3 a : to divert to an unintended, unnatural, or esp. improper use b : to misinterpret or misapply (a law) intentionally c : to deflect or change from a true or normal bearing, significance or interpretation

Four days ago it was interest in OMA's Apraksin Dvor that spurred some "learning from" and ultimately this:
Two weeks ago interest in BIG's 2008 work, particularly Art Souq, led to Art Souq neighborhoods within IQ12, etc., etc.
One month ago there was interest in Hejduk's wall [house] types and museums.
