pondering

pondering if this blog is now obsolete, NOW that the presentation is way over

all 3 essays

i just finished writing the summaries of the essays, one being about colonialism, one about female versus masculine interpretation of architecture, one being about installation art as tool for discourse about architecture. all these essays have the discourses of the built environment as subject, each with a specific slant. in my presentation I will talk about film and architecture, because i think that that has to do with the subject at hand. especially i want to ask the question about how much language can be helpful in deciphering a problem and is this a typical female way of handling things, so to speak? is writing about architecture a lesser way of engaging with architecture, a science at the periphery of the real thing: building, assembling structures in concrete, glass, metal. this kind of ties in with elizabeth grosz' assertion that architecture is masculine, landscape architecture is feminine. how would she categorize writing about architecture?
