today was a learning day. in AR1221 lecture, there was this very well expressed point in the Rem Koolhaas interview. it was on the blurring of boundaries between outside and inside, between specificity and indeterminacy, which results in the outdoors being as constricting as the indoors. it is a very relevant issue, i think. in a sense because it makes you feel so small, like you, the individual, is just part of a determined system.
then in GEK tutorial, i realised that this module is going to be the one that will give me the artistic direction to pursue. not the design module. not the 1221 (Ideas and Approaches to Design). not structural systems. because through all the "past thoughts" of these "past architects" i learnt so much. and yet the thoughts and the architects are timeless. and today the one that struck me was what the term "modernity" in architecture means. it is an entire paradigm shift.
