George Candilis, Les Carrats, 1969

Coming from Greece, born in Baku (1913), the French architect George Candilis put the theoretical bases of a criticism of the functionalism and, through uncountable construction works, applied on a large scale the principles of a new architecture called “proliferating.” He tried to produce new housing typologies, adapted to the economic and social conditions of the most deprived inhabitants. The human being is the center of his concern. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nWx0KglBn/?igshid=1gu0pavqllrdm

Most of the people I wrote about weren’t famous or powerful. They were anybody and everybody. They were people working through the rust to answer their imagination, their experiences incidental to the amplified news of the day. They had things to say and said them. I enjoyed their company.

I spent some time tagging along with a cleaning woman, who interrupted sprucing up a tub to wonder, “Don’t you have better things to do than watch me vacuum apartments?” I didn’t.

“A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination. On a cold, rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen, instead. A human with a brain and a heart and a desire to be uplifted, rather than a customer with a credit card and an inchoate “need” for “stuff.” A mall—the shops—are places where your money makes the wealthy wealthier. But a library is where the wealthy’s taxes pay for you to become a little more extraordinary, instead. A satisfying reversal. A balancing of the power.”

“you don’t need an app, you need someone gently to tell you that you should consider the possibility that writing is not just about writing, it’s also (and maybe mainly) about the space in between the writing, when nothing seems to be happening, or random stuff is having an incoherent party inside your head.”
