Week reading 5 & 6
Article 1
The article talks about the possibility of space not being completely void, but being occupied by some certain elements. The writer argues that nothing on earth disappears; instead, it occupies part of the space. He writes that whatever existed in space before continues to survive though not in its original physical form. He adds that objects, which existed in space before, have their own way of surviving and remaining within the social space. The author supports his argument by saying that architectonics may be used to explain and describe how these objects are able to survive, since it reassembles all the elements that existed but at some point have been dispersed. The author has proven his point by using anthropology, where living organisms die and deposited into space as sedimentary layers and metaphorical short hand of srata and periods.
Article 2
The author talks of human labor’s inability to reduce despite the levels of technology increasing. Moreover, he talks of solitude and oppression not being the solution to this problem. He says that man should not be exploited but rather be given the freedom to use his creativity. He argues that changing production from manual to technical will not only reduce work but also make man more creative and competitive. This is the best way of freeing them and adding their value. He adds that, in the present world, any act of cruelty is considered a crime and is punishable by law. He proposes that workers should be organized socially into trade unions and political organizations. The author’s argument was right as currently workers are now treated fairly and have their rights.
Article 3
This article suggests that all the images that exist, whether pictorial motion or even physical, are due to architecture. The author points out that, at some point, all objects, whether physical or found in magazines or motion pictures, were at one point or another the work of an architect. He says that, at some point, someone (an architect) had to come up with a plan or design before turning it to a real object. He mentions, Marshall McLuhan’s, a writer, (Gutenberg Galaxy: The making of typographic man) as proof that architecture is the source of everything. The author has done a good job in pointing this out and has even had support from other authors such as Christopher Alexander.
Article 4
This article speaks about the role and importance of atmosphere in our lives. The author, a German philosopher, argues that philosophers have put much emphasis on objects and subjects, and it is time they focus more on the atmosphere. He suggests that philosophers should focus on how human beings can nurture their lives. They should ask themselves what the environmental conditions in which they should live in are. He further writes that, scientists should not allow science to turn them into walking laboratories, where they only think of experiments on how to come up with new inventions. Scientists should instead focus on how the atmosphere will help us in existing. His argument is valid, as it has been supported by an artist known as Olafur Eliason and backed by scientist Ulrick Beck.
Article 5
The article speaks about the need to take care of the environment to enable the existence and survival of human beings. It suggests that there is a need to protect our physical environment through employing of technical resources and social groups to control the disasters befalling our environment. The author argues that constructing massive structures is not a solution to managing disasters in our environment, but coming up with natural means as a better solution. He talks of maintaining dryness during rainstorms, heat during winter, and it being chilly during the summer in order to enjoy our environment. The author has made his points clear, and this can be proven by the numerous efforts in our nation to manage the environment.
