i think we need to combine the yoga proposals with some of the heady material suggested by the new media politics and culture topics. who knows, perhaps its easier to sit down and focus on Ranciere with a little body heat, sweat and an open mind (the group mind of a sweat lodge occurs to me).

commented on OM Ungers and the Question of Utopia
"The seminar will focus on the question of Utopia as it appears (or disappears) in selected works by O.M. Ungers from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. Special attention will be given to competitions and other unbuilt works as a form of design research developed by Ungers during this period."
An investigation into the career of German architect OM Ungers. The class's focus should be on his resolutely a-political stance on form and practice in light of contemporary politcal theory about architecture. The class would be an opportunity to re-evaluate some of this brilliant architect's theoretical failings and open them to more contemporary discussions of form and aesthetics as a a volatile political category in architecture.
Reinhold Martin would be the desired lecturer for this class.

i think the proposition of the class was that we cannot help being postmodern. But that with some critical distance architects should make an effort to articulate the problem that postmodernISM in architecture missed (or as you say detoured around).

commented on Best Square Wins!
Students will enter and judge a competition during class. From brief to award, the class will cover the gamut of architectural production and judgment.
great class. thanks don. I'm still pondering "the best"... certainly the most seductive square won...but I'm disappointed that we didn't leave much room for "the worst".
