Texts, form their own contexts/reflexivity, breaking down phenomena into meaning, conclusions and critique, they render phenomena and its psychic information redundant.
We think we know how we should feel sociologically, yet in doing so we deny ourselves the direct affectiveness of people and objects that can provide different perceptual relationships.

The World is a Collage
Collage and montage are quintessential techniques in modem and contemporary art and filmmaking. Collage combines pictorial motifs and fragments from disconnected origins into a new synthetic entity which casts new roles and meanings to the parts. It suggests new narratives, dialogues, juxtapositions and temporal durations. Its elements lead double-lives; the collaged ingredients are suspended between their originary essences and the new roles assigned to them by the poetic ensemble.

ECOLOGICAL approaches/affordances to aesthetic perception ART and AESTHETIC PATTERNS : into an ecology of mind.
Going beyond what it may represent into the important psychic information that it contains. Camouflage is addressed, perhaps, less to architecture itself than to the subjective processes by which
human beings experience architecture. Illustrated by the photographic practice of Francesca Woodman, we see her seemingly absorbed by her environment in way that shows a desire to both identify with, and become part of her surroundings.
A desire/transgression met and mediated through a certain sensitivity and openness to the environment, fostering a sense of connectivity between human beings and their environment.
Neil Leach
EXISTENCE, SPACE and ARCHITECTURE Christian Norberg-Schulz
A child 'concretizes' its existential space.
Developing the idea that architectural space may be understood as a concretization of environmental schemata or images, which form a necessary part of man's general orientation or 'being in the world.'
SUBSTANCES guide the kinds of practical actions that the organism senses from elements of the environment, creating affordances/utilities for the human body.
SURFACES separate substances from medium, the wall and roof of my house afford comfort by separating me from water and too much air.
AFFORDANCES as aesthetic sensations determined both by the environment and qualities we impose through observation, sensation and perception.
Without arousal of perception, no aesthetic experience is possible. The rational organization of society has its own Aesthetic Attraction
Symmetrical Patteming/redundancy : provides for the observing mind a maximum of insight with a minimum of intellectual effort.
Colour Light Time
Quintessentially relational phenomena in which location, background, density will provide for different perceptual relations.

The Language of Specitivity/Places of Inquiry Extradisciplinary Investigations
Social Utilities/Contemporary Art Practices imported from Political Philosophy
The return of limited and ancillary projects where the human being is the fulcrum and the fire of research in replacement of the medium and the instrument.
A whole range of materials and topics that do not fit, that can create an eclectic synthesis of knowledge fields.
Arte Povera, an aesthetic-philosophical movement, artists that chose to live with direct experience and feel the necessity of leaving intact the value of the existence of things. An art that asks only for the essential information, that refuses the dialogue with the social and cultural system, and aspires to present itself as something sudden and unforeseen.

Research as a discursive activity gathering new forms of expression. Duration, Steven Holl
Time is only understood in relation to a process or a phenomenon.
The duration of human beings alive in one time and place is a relational notion.
The time of one's being is provisional; it is a circumstance with an adopted aim for the time being. SPACE-and ARCHITECTURE-exceeds the provisional

The Enchantment of Modem Life.
Attachments, Crossing and Ethics
The performativity of social representations
When I gather together the animals, arguments, molecules, suggestions, forces, interpretations, sounds, people, and images of this study, one theme emerges. The modern story of disenchantment leaves out important things, and it neglects crucial sources of ethical generosity in doing so. Without modes of enchantment, we might not have the energy and inspiration to enact ecological projects, or to contest ugly and unjust modes of commercialization, or to respond generously to humans and nonhumans that challenge our settled identities. These enchantments are already in and around us.

New Cultural Diversities
10 Days at the Laundry, Winchester 2009.
Group of creatives based in and around Winchester School of Art, use of fallow site in which to respond and to create for 10 days a contemporary arts festival. This original event 'fused' new creative partnerships that went on to produce other groups and exhibitions. The follow-up event 10 Days in the City, was funded, had more prestigious venues, but lacked the cohesion and community of the first site.
