There is no innocence in space. For

the architect, space may be didactically

subjective, and therefore evocatively

representative rather than experiential.

Space however, is also political, answering

to strategies of the dominant

modes of production. Consequently,

space is embodied with objective

meaning[2]. Everyday life embodies at

the same time, the most intense experiences

of oppression, and the strongest

potentialities for transformation. It is

the blind spot in the architect’s creative

vision, because it lacks the brilliance

and innovation proclaimed loudly

through the mouthpiece of Modernity.

In recognizing the here and now, one is

obliged to recognize the contradiction

intrinsic to its very nature.
