“The crowd is not only the newest
asylum of outlaws; it is also the latest
narcotic of those abandoned. The
flaneur is someone abandoned in the
crowd. In this he shares the situation
of the commodity. He is not aware of
this special situation, but this does not
diminish its effect on him and it
permeates him blissfully like a narcotic
that can compensate him for many
humiliations. The intoxication to which
the flaneur surrenders is the
intoxication of the commodity around
which surges the stream of
customers”
~ Walter Benjamin

“As long as we are used to
proceeding by reasoning, as long
as we have a principle, any
compositional task is possible, if not
easy, and follows an orderly,
methodical path, the results of
which, though they may not be
masterpieces, are at the very
lest fine, acceptable pieces of work
that can have style"
~ Wugène Viollet-le-duc
Lectures on Architecture, 1881.

IDEOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURE
"It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of
all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human and
all things superhuman, of all true manifestations of the head,
of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its
expression, that form ever follows function. This is the law.“
~ Louis Sullivan (1896). "The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered"

VIRGINIA WOOLF TO THE LIGHTHOUSE

1927
"Yes, of course, if it's fine tomorrow," said Mrs
Ramsay. "But you'll have to be up with the lark," she
added. To her son these words conveyed an
extraordinary joy, as if it were settled, the expedition
were bound to take place, and the wonder to which
he had looked forward, for years and years it seemed,
was, after a night's darkness and a day's sail, within
touch. Since he belonged, even at the age of six, to
that great clan which cannot keep this feeling
separate from that, but must let future prospects,
with their joys and sorrows, cloud what is actually at
hand, since to such people even in earliest childhood
any turn in the wheel of sensation has the power to
crystallise and transfix the moment upon which its
gloom or radiance rests, James Ramsay, sitting on the
floor cutting out pictures from the illustrated
catalogue of the Army and Navy stores, endowed the
picture of a refrigerator, as his mother spoke, with
heavenly bliss. It was fringed with joy.”
