From ‘On Altering Architecture’ by Fred Scott

“…in a functionalist model, all works of architecture stand in danger of being considered at one time or other, by one agency or other, as a waste of space. Because of the uncertainties in being able to fit function tightly to the built form, the idea of obsolescence is amenable to other interpretations, such as, for instance, what might be considered aesthetic obsolescence.”

pp. 5, Scott, F: On Altering Architecture, 2008.

About

This is my public diary, an IMMEDIATE way of communicating the project progress to my Friends. Also as a forum of discussion, a form of correspondence, I invite you to offer comments on my posts.

This site is the public face of the project- the official side. The private nature of my work in Fontainhas and correspondence means that I must maintain the confidence of those I talk to. A second, more intimate diary, is being built in parallel to this one and exists physically.
