>>7162758
>>7162767
Yeah I loved that thread

OP got absolutely obliterated

>>7162673
The worst part about the OP is that it's not even accurate. Bismarck only saw a unified Germany as a goal because he wanted to strengthen Prussia, he had no real pan-German sentiment. He literally threatened suicide to dissuade the monarch from annexing Austria after the victorious war with them, partly because he was afraid annexing Austria would greatly diminish Prussian influence within the new unified Germany.

This really is one of the least funny 'normal' boards

>>7163761
Nah, this is just an awful thread.
>>7151362 is much better if you're looking for humor.

>>7163789

>>7163797

>>7163523
Wait, I thought he refused to annex parts of german-speaking austria because that would make sure Austria-Hungary would forever be germany's enemy.

Lit is not that funny a board

>>7163820
Both.
He didn't want to wholly annex it because he thought Prussia could not control Austria within the new Germany and he didn't want to partially annex large parts of it because he didn't want to make the remnant an enemy.

And it wasn't Austria-Hungary yet, it only became Austria-Hungary after this war.

>>7165089
there's no way this is real unless this is on that cuck subreddit.

This is really interesting, actually, despite knowing little about deconstructionism and nothing about architecture. I had never realized that the structure of buildings could be so related to any mode of philosophical thought.

if so when did fam enter your vocab?

My guess on how it transferred is through textual online media where ghetto ebonics-speaking americans didn't realise that it was created by a british person.

Weird how that happened though I noticed that too.

I know. It's actually really annoying because it didn't even get adopted under any degree of anglophilia, just pure stupidity from nogs who can't differentiate between cultures.

I swear whenever I hear some little swagfag retard murmur that I want to slap his shit. He doesn't have any clue how retarded he sounds. It's like when an American uses the word 'mate', not because they want to imitate British or Australian culture, but just to be a 'different' little hipster piece of shit.

Lmao I just ranted about this

>>7168152
are you me?

>>7168152
To be honest, british-black culture is where 'fam" comes from.

>>7168162
Yeah but the nogs here didn't adopt it knowingly from the nogs there. It's the lack of awareness of cultural boundaries which I find frustrating. They have no sense of culture basically. And that's what ghetto culture is, lack of culture, so they steal shit rampantly without even understanding how or why they're stealing.

>>7165759
I was expecting more from the challengers argument - I guess that's the joke?

And anyway, what if it's my every intention to invoke the rich associations of memery, and desperate testosterone inherent in 'qt'? You mustn't assume that your own inability to craft words properly applies to everyone else. Don't even speak to me.

>>7167628
For the most part Eisenman isn't talking about structure, it's more to do with how we recognise parts of architecture. I mean I'm not that au fait with Eisenman but I'll give my understanding. So with deconstruction with text we construct meaning from the text which is our (forms our?) locus of presence, where we and the words on the page meet and create a meaning, and then we can look for points where things don't fit together (destabilising) and look for a new or different meaning. If you want to deconstruct a building you can view it as a kind of gestalt, like you know those are stairs, that's a handrail etc and how they fit together. There's also the idea that we can often judge by sight (and if not other perceptions) the structural quality of a building in a similar way, and I think this is what he's getting at with the load bearing column business. So this gestalt can form a locus of presence as you make a reading of the building and attribute meaning, and under certain circumstances it can be destabilised as well. Tbh I think the load bearing column bit is either him going dead wrong or he's talking about a particular kind of structural art. That he's buddies with Koolhaus makes me think latter but the way he talks about it is a bit odd.

Then there's deconstruction of the act of architecture itself and that's where he's talking about turning a building or a process into text and having that discourse or reflection.

>>7165375
i'm proud to say i was the one that made that image and shitposted it into memery. it's the highlight of my life, so far

>>7168948
Neat, thanks for that explanation. Might have to add a few books on architecture to my backlog. I already know of SMLXL which I've been wanting to read, do you have any other suggestions?

I'm not very smart

I'm anti-social (not really) because I have just newly learned of the inevitable pull of the other or the other being an integral unavoidable part of my being, and now have to learn to fight the gap in others' part of my being and my own being as it is totally, to unite it so as to gain control over my being in the world to satisfy this basic human need which I did not ask for but can not refuse.

>>7169662
If you're going to read Koolhaus you should probably have a look at Cecil Balmond too, they worked together a lot and it's a bit like if you read Renzo Piano you should probably look at Peter Rice. Just bear in mind that his early book on the number 9 is not particularly clear with mysticism shit everywhere, has a middling narrative story running through it and is embarrassing to read (pic related). When I read it on a train I noticed another reading qt checking me out and she was noticeably turned off after like a second of looking over my shoulder.

Or if you want to have a look at the structural art side of things the Felix Candela lectures are decent and one of the essays is written by Balmond. Gives you a nice broad overview and plenty of jumping off points so you might prefer that.

There's an awful lot out there on phenomenology which is somewhat related to deconstruction and the metaphysics of presence. I recommend looking at Bachelard's Poetics of Space, Steve Holl is quite accessible in general, and K Michael Hays I remember enjoying and being fairly straightforward. Hays has edited a collection of essays on somewhat recent architecture and it's called something ending in 1968. Architecture since 1968? Or Architectural theory since?

Also Simulacra and Simulation does pop up every so often and I like the Situationists and Walter Benjamin, they can sort of enrich your understanding of some parts. Plus I like reading Will Self and the Situationists give me a good excuse. At this point tho I'm getting further away from the original point and could probably list a million other things to look at, so I'll finish with: remember that this sort of thing isn't terribly common for architects to know in depth. Something like green architecture or the kind of architecture sans frontiere business is more common to know ime. It's all useful tho.

What did Nietzsche think of Bismarck?

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH PORRA

>>7169998
It has a whole thing on Disney land or world or whatever it's called now so it does somewhat intersect with architectural stuff explicitly.

I would say it's more sociology cum semiotics tbh and very much closer to philosophy.

It's a little much to explain in detail but it's like the reality we experience is often not based on the fabric of reality, it's taken from other things that are like idealised versions of things in reality that we've internalised. It's like that trope joke of "do you remember when we did x" "wait wasn't x from [some old tv programme]".

In the 80s it got used as a kind of quality argument, that everything should look like on a picture postcard or on a brochure so as not to pop the bubble as it were, and that lead to a resurgence in things like AstroTurf and fake plants, you know because they're always as you expect they should be without too much maintenance.

Fixie bikes were very trendy not long ago, as are public bikes that have been in Paris and London for a while now.

It's referencing testicular torsion you can get from bike riding which can make you a ballless eunuch bicyclist

You are a fucking fruitcake. Stealing shit rampantly is an essential element of culture and the only historical region why English-language culture is worth giving a fuck about.

Architecture is very related to philosophical thought. Take Kant for instance, whose thought system is analogous to building a cathedral to house God & noumena from reason. I recommend reading Kojin Karatani's Architecture as Metaphor.
