Why are we, free artists, so interested in the doctrines of modern architecture? Because they exclude us. Asger Jorn
We do not recognize the existence of architecture … Cologne Cathedral is nothing but an
empty magic sculpture, whose aim is purely psycho
logical—just like a glass of beer is architecture. Asger Jorn
Architecture must advance by taking emotionally moving situations, rather than emotionally moving forms, as the material it works with. And the experiments
conducted with this material will lead to new, as yet unknown forms. Guy Debord,Rapport sur la construction des situations

of the society, criticizing all the transitory values linked to condemned

Architecture is the simplest means of articulating time and space,
of modulating reality, of engendering dreams. Ivan Chtcheglov, Formulaire pour un urbanisme nouveau
Architecture is always the ultimate achievement of intellectual and artistic evolution, the
materialization of an economic stage. Architecture is the final point in the achievement of any artistic endeavor because the creation of architecture implies the construction of
an environment and the establishment of a way of life. Potlatch #15
