Architecture
I have recently received some criticism regarding the political posts on ARCHatlas. This post gathers some of my favorites quotes regarding architecture and politics in response to this recent message:
My problem is I followed an architecture blog not a political blog. I despise some of your views but that shouldn’t matter. BECAUSE YOURE AN ARCHITECTURE BLOG.
ARCHatlas is my blog, the work of one person, and that that fact grants me the freedom to post whatever I want (like you all have the freedom to unfollow or block me). Thanks for following!
Royal Academy for Nature Conservation in Jordan
In the late 1980s-1990s, the Jordanian Government decided to stop many functioning quarries for a variety of environmental reasons. The abandoned quarries remained as untreated wounds and abandoned cuts in the landscape, with no serious land reclamation efforts. The proposed site of the new the Rangers Academy Building held the shadows of a once was a functioning quarry. In this project, our office decided to celebrate the quarry instead of erasing it, by using this man-made artificial exposed cliff to the advantage of the project. This deformed cut turned into the real thrilling challenge of the site.
The Royal Academy for Nature Conservation by Khammash Architects design was based on the quarry cliff cut-line that a bulldozer driver once drew in the land some twenty years ago, never knowing that this line will be the base of a building elevation. The building follows the quarry line very accurately creating a linear addition of constructed stone to the bedrock.The Academy Building has a double folded functionality: from one side it is an environmental academy that presents nature-oriented educational programs, on the other, it is a high-end restaurant and a craft shop that finance the academic program of the project.

Extraction sustains our society, and even in recent decades we have been advancing technologically, we have not progressed enough that slowing down the pace would be possible. We rarely stop to think about the origin of the materials which makes up the built environment, or the raw materials necessary to the endless demands of contemporary human activity. And so, as the world population has become increasingly more and more urban, the landscapes that provide these raw materials become more remote and spatially distant from the daily view, and since literally these landscapes disappear, we can think of them as lost landscapes.

Centraal Beheer 1970-1972
by Herman Hertzberger
"Hertzberger can be considered, along with Aldo van Eyck, as the influence behind the Dutch structuralistmovement of the 1960s. He believed that the architect’s role was not to provide a complete solution, but to provide a spatial framework to be eventually filled in by the users.”
