As you say being caught either in the past or the future is risky, dreaming of the nostalgia of the former or idyll of the latter against the problems of the present. Yet hope is essential.

And this social network movie does look interesting, I fear it may fail by being too obvious and melodramatic, but I'm hopeful, the trailer is playfully oblique. As for Jubes, unless the library sinks under the weight of its books, and unless we knock it all down for shame, as we have done to other Nottingham buildings which fell from prospectus fashion's favour, the buildings should still be with us in 100 years.<br /><br />In so far as Jubilee is an image (as per Rom1) it will streak stain and peel and it's shimmer of futureliness will fade. And the Park, though full of so much life and so much craft and such an affection for slow materiality, it is not completely without condemnation, guilty sometimes of a twee nostalgic romanticism. And these two forms of fantasy, of not-present-ness, are there in the portrayal of Cobb and Mal's limbo, futurist glassy juxtapose historicist prairie house constructions. The (unachievable (without faith)) buildings we are after are conceived in an eternal now, unselfconscious, timeless, glorious. But in so far as I lack faith (which is a gift) for such buildings, I am inclined to historicism as my vice.Philip Pawlett Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474277059615104515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876777187776268569.post-49091879318941934242010-07-20T11:36:27.691+01:002010-07-20T11:36:27.691+01:00Your parallels to the facebook are compelling. did...Your parallels to the facebook are compelling. did you see the film coming out later this year - 'the social network'? <br />http://www.thesocialnetwork-movie.com/<br />I've been watching the matrix series over the last few days. This is the story of 'the architect'.<br /><br />Rach Dawson and I were musing as I looked out of the window into the Victorian Park. What will be the architectural legacy of the 2000s 100 years from now? How long will the spaceships at jubilee last?Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876777187776268569.post-91618425424261229842010-07-19T22:52:50.736+01:002010-07-19T22:52:50.736+01:00I want to see this film. aaaaaaaaaahI want to see this film. aaaaaaaaaahelleyukarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10880913942955551290noreply@blogger.com
