Dagarama

Schizophrenic madman or a genius in disguise?

Wasn't he the only one who knew and who was of any worth?

Creating humanopolis, your utopian heaven

Between the nature and human hand's constructions,

Passionate talks with those who would listen,

Long walks to face the accident of conciousness

A Road to despair,

Forget-me-nots, lines and dots on a piece of paper that were supposed to be appreciated after 2000s,

Burning hand, the touch of God and artists around not knowing whether they want to believe or leave,

In the end they would regret,

But the tongues have started their run,

I want to believe this is just a start for a future

That you have created

As Dagarama

//Enjoy your utopia<3

Jan Głuszak Dagarama (1937–2000) was a poet, philosopher, visionary and one of the leading representatives of Polish futurist architecture. Although he considered himself an ‘anti-architect’, Głuszak shared the modernist conviction (even moral obligation) that it was only by harnessing the untamed powers of the imagination and moving beyond conventional materials and technologies that one could truly create a space for living and dreaming. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Głuszak terminated his architectural studies at the Kraków University of Technology, but continued to develop his own projects and to define a highly distinctive mythical architectural manifesto articulated in his treatise, Utopia Documented – De Labore Solis (From the Hardship of the Sun). In 1975 he won a prestigious award for architects at Terra I, an acclaimed architectural festival in Poland.

today I went to see the alternative guide to the universe at the hayward gallery and came across these crazy drawings by this guy called dagarama. he was a polish futurist anti-architect and in the 60s he designed these transparent "climatic partitions" that, through their scientific design, would enable humans to continue to live on earth whatever the climate. he also designed some of these plant shaped future pods for sites in mars and the moon, in case earth was full as well as too hot/cold.
