“Architecture should respond to the spirit or history of a place and to human needs, using technology appropriately rather than giving it rhetorical expression,” (153). “Rather than directly emulate historical forms, he [Louis Kahn] engenders a sense of historical monumentality by exaggerating the scale and producing ‘imageable’ massive forms,” (165). “Not until the emergence of capitalist economics, for example, were yearly increases in production demanded: production for profit, not people’s needs; exchange value, not use value,” (197). “Although reason played a key role in political emancipation, imporved health and human betterment, nevertheless traditional skills and meaning in work were dimnished. (Ruskin and the Arts and Crafts movement recognised this and tried to resist. Loos wore brogues.),” (201).

CRISIS OF LIFE-WORLD
Relation to Jane Jacobs; It is okay to be okay; unexceptional, it is life.
Riveted Robyn Sarah It is possible that things will not get better than they are now, or have been known to be. It is possible that we are past the middle now. It is possible that we have crossed the great water without knowing it, and stand now on the other side. Yes: I think that we have crossed it. Now we are being given tickets, and they are not tickets to the show we had been thinking of, but to a different show, clearly inferior. Check again: it is our own name on the envelope. The tickets are to that other show. It is possible that we will walk out of the darkened hall without waiting for the last act: people do. Some people do. But it is probably that we will stay stead in our narrow seats all through the tedious denouement to the unsurprising end - riveted, as it were; spellbound by our own imperfect lives because they are lives, and because they are ours.

This PULSE diagram was adopted from the text “The Biology of Deserts” by David Ward.
AN EVENT TRIGGERS A PULSE OF ACTIVITY. LOSS OCCURS DUE TO CONSUMPTION AND MORTALITY, AND THE REST IS RESERVED FOR THE FUTURE. THE PULSE DEPENDS ON THE SEASON AND RAINFALL QUALITIES [SIZE, DURATION, AND SO FORTH]. THE PULSE IS NOT A PULSE OF GROWTH BUT EQUATED WITH PRECIPTIATION; THE PULSE IS THE PRECIPITATION. THIS THEN STIMULATES GROWTH, CAUSES LOSS, AND SUSTAINS. THE PULSE TAKES A BROADER PERSPECTIVE OF THE QUALITIES THAT INFLUENCE THE EFFECT OF THE PULSE BY APPLYING THE CURRENT STATE OF THE SOIL AND THE FUNCTION OF THE ORGANISM.
