nuevo post en el @blogURBS: LA PESADILLA DE LA CIUDAD TECNOCRÁTICA

Hoy el @blogURBS nos publica el nuevo post: LA PESADILLA DE LA CIUDAD TECNOCRÁTICA.

“Una vez que el hombre empezó a desarrollar extensiones, sobre todo el lenguaje, las herramientas y las instituciones y cayó en la tela de araña de lo que denominó transferencia de la extensión y se enajenó de sí mismo a la vez que fue incapaz de controlar los monstruos que había creado”. Edward T. Hall, Más allá de la cultura.

La distancia entre el hombre y el mundo

La regulación de la sociedad por parte del aparato burocrático fue estudiada por Max Weber [1] a principios del siglo pasado. El autor diseccionó los mecanismos elaborados por la sociedad para dotarse de unos sistemas de control que, a la vez, la hiciera altamente eficiente. La búsqueda de una racionalización de la vida conllevó a la creación de una estructura que pronto la desbordó y se alejó de los individuos, provocando su desencanto. A este fenómeno, Weber lo denominó la “jaula de hierro de la irracionalidad”.

@estonoesunsolar in “Do it yourself. Creating urban space” Vilnius National Art Gallery

Estonoesunsolar will take part in “Do it yourself. Creating urban space”, at Vilnius National Art Gallery,  Konstitucijos pr. 22, Vilnius, September 18th, 20.00 h.

“DO-IT-YOURSELF. Creating public urban space”. Surrounding living environment is a public space experienced beyond the borders of private properties. While the public space belongs to everyone and all, the responsibility of its shaping process is currently overtaken by public authorities. How do citizens can regain their right to the city? The thirteenth series of lectures organized by “Architecture [discussion] fund” will explore and discuss a do-it-yourself urbanism as an alternative for the environment creation process. Since we all are users of a public space, how can we become its active creators?

Organized by ARCHITECTURE [DISSCUSSION] FUND, an educational initiative based on completely voluntary participation and its activity is noncommercial.
