Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970)

HYBRIDIZATION Hybrid architecture is the result of the hybridization of three diverse natures in one intervention (การแทรกแซง) : object-related nature, landscape-related nature and infrastructure-related nature. Consequently, all architectural intervention is defined as hybrid that is at once object, landscape and infrastructure. Dr.Rita Pinto de Freitas

“ญาณวิทยา” และ “อภิปรัชญา”
“EPISTEMOLOGY” VS “ONTOLOGY”
Aristotle Religions Mystics Descartes
First Philosophy Meditation Metaphysics (อภิปรัชญา) (ปรัชญาว่าด้วยความจริงในธรรมชาติ)
Ontology (อภิปรัชญา) Eschatology (โลกาวินาศ) Epistemology (ญาณวิทยา)
Synthesis: Meditations + First Philosophy = Epistemology
Descartes combines a religious (medieval) genre with an ancient philosophical discipline to produce a new science of knowledge. The traditional striving for personal religious salvation turns now into a personal striving for epistemological security. RenĂŠ Descartes (1596-1650)
Galoleo discusses his discoveries with the church. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

“WISDOM” TO BE “INTERVENTIONS”

CITTASLOW - http://www.cittaslow.org Cittaslow is a movement founded in Italy in October 1999. The inspiration of Cittaslow was the slow food organization. Cittaslow’s goals include improving the quality of life in towns by slowing down its overall pace, especially in a city’s use of spaces and the flow of life and traffic through them. Cittaslow is part of a cultural trend known as the Slow movement.
