    Lebbeus Woods <\/a> 1940-2012 <\/p>\n

    Lebbeus Woods died this morning at the age of 72. Woods was
    \nan anomaly in the contemporary architecture scene, producing
    \nwork almost exclusively in the form of architectural
    \ndrawings (in great volume) and sustaining a distinctive
    \nreputation as a visionary who, by inhabiting the lofty
    \ntheoretical stratosphere of imagining over constructing
    \nbuildings– a space so distanced from the vitiating
    \nconstraints of capital — remained something of an
    \nuncorrupted, almost sanctified presence in the field. –    Alan Sondheim <\/a><\/strong>(via netbehaviour) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The Super Splice <\/a><\/p>\n

    Architecture and war are not incompatible. Architecture is war. War is architecture. I am at war with my time, with history, with all authority that resides in fixed and frightened forms. I am one of millions who do not fit in, who have no home, no family, no doctrine, no firm place to call my own, no known beginning or end, no \u201csacred and primordial site.\u201d I declare war on all icons and finalities, on all histories that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful fears. I know only moments, and lifetimes that are as moments, and forms that appear with infinite strength, then \u201cmelt into air.\u201d I am an architect, a constructor of worlds, a sensualist who worships the flesh, the melody, a silhouette against the darkening sky. I cannot know your name. Nor you can know mine. Tomorrow, we begin together the construction of a city.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
