San Rocco 04\/ abstract
\nFUCK CONCEPTS! CONTEXT!<\/p>\n

Contemporary architecture is generally presented with the phrase \u201cMy concept is . . . \u201d, in which the blank is filled in by some sort of notion: \u201cMy concept is freedom\u201d, \u201cMy concept is the iPad\u201d, \u201cMy concept is the Big Bang\u201d, \u201cMy concept is democracy\u201d, \u201cMy concept is panda bears\u201d, \u201cMy concept
\nis M&M\u2019s\u201d. This statement is then followed by a PowerPoint presentation that begins with M&M\u2019s and ends with round, pink bungalows on paradisiacal Malaysian beaches. According to concepts, to design is to find what buildings are: an ontology for dummies that turns banality into spectacle. Thus, the library is the books, the stadium is the muscles, the promenade is the beach, the aquarium is the fish, the swimming pool is the water and grandmother\u2019s garage is grandmother.
\nConcepts protect us from running the risk of engaging with form. Why should we bother with form when we have an idea? Why waste time seeking beauty when we can claim that we are solving problems? Why think when we can happily sit around a table and do some brainstorming? Why take the pains to learn something when we can shout \u201cEureka!\u201d in your face?
\nAnyhow, it is possible to escape from this selbstverschuldete Minderheit. Complexity exists, in re, in context. Cities and territories are here, and it is possible to understand them!<\/p>\n
