Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.
Architecture is involved with the world but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work like any art.
Without this spirit Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism I use architecture to reconcile the two.
The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.
I loved logic math computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.
Make big plans aim high in hope and work remembering that a noble logical diagram once recorded will not die.
The way life manages information involves a logical structure that differs fundamentally from mere complex chemistry. Therefore chemistry alone will not explain life's origin any more than a study of silicon copper and plastic will explain how a computer can execute a program.
The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
You live in a deranged age more deranged that usual because in spite of great scientific and technological advances man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.
About the time I turned 50 I experienced the profound biological change that often accompanies women at that age. Also I put two kids in college and lost both of my parents so I'm no longer somebody's daughter.
