The flexible, self-directed curricula on offer at the school, combined with the global nature of the institution, afford the Architectural Association (AA) a rare degree of awareness in acknowledging and confronting the social, technological and cultural challenges of today. With around 800 full-time students, over 7000 members, 250 tutors, and 100 administrative staff, the AA occupies eight Georgian houses in central London and a 350-acre woodland site at Hooke Park, Dorset.
The AA seeks students who demonstrate initiative in engaging in public presentations, discussions, and debates within the School, the architectural community, and beyond. We look for students with the curiosity and ambition to carve out a unique path through our diverse pedagogical methods and agendas.

24:36 these tables are actually so important to be able to critique our architectural ‘rules’ and sensibilities. I think a factor that has moved into the international zeitgeist is the suspicion of progress, after all the technological advancement we’re sitting in some sustainability crises. The progressionalists seem to be avoiding the mental strain that’s placing on people, which is part of the reason I think we’re seeing a resurgence of historicism. I’d argue though, that the historicism will exist is super-position with more speculative styles.
Malum In Se/Malum Prohibitum Nothing moral requires authority. Authority is the claim to the exclusive exemption to morality. It is a monopoly on violence. Violence is a violation because it is the initiation of aggression, not self-defense. Offense/defense are ontologically distinct. All crime has a legal equivalent (ie, taxation is extortion). Every government is founded on Ad Baculum. Petitio Principii can and will be used against you. Warren v. District of Columbia Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales DeShaney v. Winnebago County Lozito v. New York City You are legally compelled via the logical fallacies Ad Populum, Ad Baculum and Ad Verecundiam to pay for protection that they are not legally obligated to provide. That's a mafia. The highest Abrahamic value is Ignorance of Good and Evil. It's right there in Genesis. They worship Yaldabaoth, God of the Scapegoaters: God blames Man; Man blames Woman; Woman blames Serpent; Serpent blames God, more accurately - the Serpent defines God. God Condones Child Rape No.s 31: 17-18 God Condones Rape Deut. 22: 28-29 God Condones Abortion No.s 5: 11-31 Unquestioning Obedience to Government Rom.s 13: 1-7 Ritualistic classifying surgery as a means of psychic castration, like circumcision and sub-incision, are hallmarks of patriarchal culture, a demonstration to the young that the venerable old ones still wield the all-powerful knife - and the beginning of transsexualism. Those who do not perform the cult's rite can never enjoy full social status. Symbols of the castrated member, the tie and bow-tie, are mandatory accoutrements of the political wardrobe and phallic monuments are erected to commemorate the minds conquered long ago. Brute force is no longer necessary. The capitalist priest class of Psychiatry, working in tandem with the State bureaucracy, regulates and polices the new Restriction and gelding of desire. Psychiatrists, along with other legal arbiters, help to obscure justice with grey areas of intentionality, mental state, etc. Some mistake this as a system of Liberty, ignorant of the fact that Psychiatric Control is a cornerstone of the perfected Totalitarian State. All modern illnesses come from the absurd and tragic struggle of man's inability to bridle Nature. This dogma echoes perpetually, omnisciently by understanding voices in self-help books, billboards, radio commercials and television talk shows to convince the public to practice continual self-suppression and hormonal restraint. Any deviation is an indication of something severely wrong with the individual. Perhaps Lycanthropic Transformation Rites are in some way a Psychic Preparation for the millennial calamities that are thought to lie ahead. Legalism is a Language of Equivocations, a process of assimilation to violence and illogic. Etymology: government Gubernare: to control Mens/Mentis: mind culture Colere: to inhabit, to till Cult: collective mind -ure: process of civilize, etc. Civitas: city -ize: to do/to make like police, policy, politics, polite Polis: city authority Auctor: master, father, creator -ity: quality of religion Religare: to bind fast, to place an obligation on -ion: noun-forming suffix uniform Uni-: one Form: shape They lump themselves into a group. They want all the collective praise and none of the collective blame (No True Scotsman). If they were truly concerned for their reputation they wouldn’t wear a uniform. Badges are just snowflakes. "Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. [...] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." - Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation - 1981) "Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions. And so it goes, on and on." - Alfred Korzybski (Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics - 1933) "I am a cosmopolitan." - Diogenes "If I could not be Alexander, I should wish to be Diogenes." - Alexander the Great "A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years." - Lysander Spooner (No Treason: Constitution of No Authority - 1867) "It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement." - Étienne de la Boétie (Discours de la servitude volontaire ou le Contr'un - 1577) "Leadership in government is political power, and political power is an official form of antagonizing the people. Politics are rules imposed upon the people. They have every man in a straight jacket and without a passport he cannot move a toe. In a free world, they violate the natural rights of every citizen. They have become the weapons of political despots and if you don't think as they think you're deprived of your passport." - Michael Chaplin as Rupert Macabee (A King in New York - 1957) "Imagine, if you will, a world filled only with criminals of whom there are two classes: those too honest to rationalize their crimes and the powerful who scapegoat them." - Rod Serling "Eye have no Moral Obligation to ask permission from the person to whom Eye Morally Object if Eye may exercise mEye Moral Objection." - Unknown ^{\^}\#%||%#}^||%%|%~|%||#
Michael Levin's bioelectric field is generated by ion channels on the cell membranes. The morphic resonance appears to be generated before the morphology occurs from a source that does not appear to be the body.
He never actually gets to the idea of resonance...he just dances around it...This reminds me of Jacques Derrida's differe(a)nce...It pretends to talk about something important...you get the sense it might be important...then poof...Tesla's notion of resonance...is more resonable...
What a wonderful idea for a project. When I was studying architecture in the distant past, we had nothing that crossed cultural worlds in the way that this does. I would have absolutely loved projects of this kind.
Just yesterday at the music store where I am a luthier , I started talking with an old friend who is a great pianist . When I started gently suggesting some non mechanistic philosophies he reacted very negatively ! The very idea of telepathy or morphic fields made him recoil and shut off like a big steel door slamming closed!! Must have been his education at Columbia ! Wow , it was dramatic !!!
Haha, Yeah, i know that some(many) people are "Pathologically Adamant" and almost impossible to talk to as they simply refuse the exchange of ideas as they already "know" that they are right. Cheers
La verdad son muy buenos en las creaciones, y en el estudio y parte de s3rie es muy buena en verdad en México alucinan de maciado es muy difícil las creaciones de edificios, por el lado de stelers corosivos de isos years y generaciones, y las historias son miles y m8les de accidentes y muestes programadas para un serie y película o solo un par de minutos en televisión estrangera, pero fura de eso son muy buenos sus documentales y enseñanzas buena suerte los seguire viendo ingenieros y arkitectos archiculturales., bye...
I think the talk was quite good as an "eye-opening" on the topic of food production... however, I have doubts that were not shown, such as the energy expenditure of production and transportation as well as logistics, about which they comment, it would have been interesting to see a little more about the issue of energy expenditure and production, to be able to understand even more about the impact that food production has and also about what happens at the political level, as I mentioned, that has a socio-political impact, it would have been interesting if he had given a more concrete example... also about practical "day-to-day" examples or practices that could be adopted within cities that are within the reach of all inhabitants. ..
at about 20 min in when TH is discussing visual complexity - was the movement in modernism w/ respect to disease [TB etc] the building becoming a prophylactic to avoid illness - perhaps this anxiety heatherwick refers to in the studies (whole foods) is (our) an innate fear of being hospitalized/surgery/human as observed in clinical environ ?
Dear Rupert, talking about connections through sound and events, I would love to know your thoughts on the ongoing massacre in Gaza - what kind of morphic field is this building and how will it impact people who are on or near that land in the future, and how does it impact us through morphic fields who are so far away and apparently minimally involved?
@@mandystuart4909 i also dont belive that black magic is guilty for that war..i belive that the thing is more complicated..we as a human species arent aware of our true nature..
What “massacre” in Gaza do you mean? You mean the war on settlements of backwards stuck in dark ages violent terrorist tribes temporary occupying parts of Israel ?
It might explain how too-dense communities can echo and build up on one emotion, be it good or evil. A possible explanation for how, DNA as a fractal antennae: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B3jf_d_TVc8.html
Wasn't parametricism supposed to be the new modernism with regards to being the new dominant style only a couple of years ago? Now it apparently already needs an upgrade.
