lebbeus woods.

ved et tilfælde fandt jeg lige en af mine yndlings tegenere på nettet. hvem havde troet, LEBBEUS WOODS ville have en blog! af hvad jeg ved, skulle han eftersigende være en gammel sur mand, verdens sejeste underviser, rimelig alkoholiseret og arkitektonisk geni. for et øjeblik siden fandt jeg over disse helt nye tegninger, postet for under 30 minutter siden. til dem fulgte en lang forklaring om fornuft under titlen "when the world was old". fik jeg i øvrigt fortalt, at WOODS er totalt sci-fi nørd med hang til ødelæggelse, dystopi og robotter? svedigt? ja det tror jeg nok. jeg giver den i hvertfald op for enhver der kan appreciate en god laser, zzzzzing!

"When the world was old, all things became possible. Opposites remained opposed, yet found a unity in being so. Sameness was no longer the same, but different at each turn. Time remained infinite, but closed in finite cycles with distinct variations. [...]

Alas, the world was still young too. When the world was young, there was no reason, as it was not needed, as long as gratification was easy. Reasoning became a need only when gratification became difficult, and only after the resulting wave of panic. Reason is the result of panic, in that it is the only way to keep panic from spinning out of control and consuming entirely our vital energy. Reason enables us to delay desire, to wait, to dream, and to plan."
