dreadful hammers
leave as rubble
authorship
tied
to
who lived then died
just another history
faith
undermined by geology
proof nor unproof possible
safer to
follow the line of Pascal
may as well
believe anyway
expectation of perfection
geometrical
mathematical
mechanical
via industrialisation
observable in
buildings
fall from idealism of
no longer asking themselves
striving to
outdo
each other
interest only in
inhabitants
in terms of volume
rather than
providing quality of life
heap of car parts
detritus of the workshop
enslavement to
the drive
towards the perfect
and separated
architectural foundation
repetition and monotony
precondition of
economic efficiency
Ruskin said
not the labour that’s divided
but the man
fragments and crumbs
the nature of the gothic
regional material
reflect
uniqueness of the area
to be imperfect
means
belonging to a higher order
no mere animal
or tool
any longer
