vergüenza ajena Sánchez y su antiguo desarrollo unilateral:

bonanza para los exportadores

hurto disfrazado de progreso pueblo adornado con infraestructuras programadas para explotación

vulnerable al agitado paso de la economía, industria y tecnología modernas evidencia de las constantes explotaciones que ha sufrido la isla desde los tiempos de la colonia

. . . hoy se diluye por naturaleza . . . ¿ arquitectura en Sánchez ?

¿ será artesanía ?

¿ injerto vernáculo ? ¿ modelo importado que se vende como “identidad Dominicana” ? ? !

(...) parece que la arquitectura sobrevive mientras es a-contextual

parece que así ella se re-descubre, se regenera,

se restablece,

y germina en lugares insospechables. ¿ aún anda ella por ahí ?

(Reflexión sobre tesis “Revitalización entre Frentes Histórico - Marino, Sánchez, Samaná”) ® 2 0 0 7JRCM

technicolour when laziness invades imagination monochromatic fields are explored

minimalism is desired exuberance sleeps… palette’s dead-end ? sometimes, transparency and texture play a bilateral game transparency the magician

texture the subject-matter and both give way to a cult of tarmac, granite and steel

palette’s dead-end ? ! as far as nature reigns buildings could enjoy the magic of beige spectrum

evasive invasive

hypothetical bubble explodes theoretical speculation spreads where context is no longer a pretext imagination is unlimited where context is intentionally excluded confidence is expanded or, evaded …and… inside imaginary scenarios the aim is still at sight ideologically autonomous optimism pushes ahead anticipatory ideas are landing from everywhere alternatives grow like gardens context can’t fully apply anymore no more anymore invasion is complete

if manufacture mutate? something better arises

if manufacture is challenged? better find an extra option

if manufacture become autonomous? it has never belong to anything

if manufacture ignore surroundings? surroundings are so bizarre !

if we take it for granted? so, we’ll be fooling ourselves

species in danger figure spies from darkness

saving every blink longing for illusions

beholding light ambition sneaks into darkness

stealing attention masking any trace of solitude inviting to play the game of illusions

ambition becomes curiosity

figure, species in danger

spying, still with a grin, silently
