The manifesto is dead

I push the like button
and consider it done.

I like without effort
I click therefore I am.
A painless execution of discourse
a feedback that really is none.

I take a position and therefore I am
an act of bravery
in a culture that is fast

Manifesto
I like Manhattan
“Ich bin ein New Yorker”
We are all New Yorkers.
Our goal is not to redesign Manhattan,
but to redesign architecture.
“Ich bin ein New Yorker”
We are all New Yorkers.
Our goal is not to redesign Manhattan,
but to redesign architecture.
We are dedicated to scales of time.
The timelines of the city, of architecture and of the materials we use are currently in a state of friction.
What was formerly Small, Medium, Large or extra large,
is redefined in minutes, hours, days, months, seasons, years and centuries.
We reject the false notion that architecture is only obligated to permanence.

We reject the false notion that architecture is only obligated to permanence.
The problem of architecture today,
is the futile attempt to make the generic specific.
We define this tendency as a clash of scales in time:
The houses we design are meant for a century
Whereas the styles by which we design them change every week.
We split the generic from the fast and assign to every building its proper scale of time.

An architecture responding to scales of time
requires a new capacity for the architect — to be fast.
We are proposing an architecture almost like a tailor made suit
responding to precise and time bound functions.
What was formerly broken down to residential, commercial, leisure or infrastructure,
Is now rethought into functions as:

We are dedicated to a malleable Manhattan,
a city that reconciles time and space through architecture.
If change and crises were formerly the city’s enemies,
they are now its driving forces.
