Pulp Architecture goes to Yale

For those interested I have posted on the
pulparchitecture blog, the complete text of the
'pulp lecture' given at Yale in 2003. It will of interest
to the ideas of self-education, schooling and de-
schooling and the ways we can all move forward
within and beyond institutions.
We will also return to the self-educational way
you can take a program like
5 Big Idea and a Spanner, and interact with it
yourself with your own ideas and thinking on
history, theory and interactivity

note: 5 big ideas + a spanner (seminar 9.2.05)
1 modernism (politics, society & architecture in 20th C.)
2 the constructivism (the constructed vision)
3 conceptualism (off the canvas into space)
4 pluralism (semiology, structuralism, post-modernism)
5 digitalism (advanced generators, gaming and 21st C.)
and the spanner : undoing.
(more details will follow, as will a reading list
when required)
