architect 3.0

citizen architect or if you prefer architect 3.0

I will have to stick with my old man... at some point Peter says... "I do not believe that architecture is about makin' a better world! architecture is about challenges, changes is about suggesting a truly open future"

cause if we believe that is about making a better world then we have to define what is "better", to reveal our moralistic principles but at the same time we need to avoid not to be trapped in an anthropocentric approach... a "better" world maybe is not exactly what this trailer would like to promote... this is a homeostatic view of world that through entropy will die soon or latter...
thus we need to free our ethics from moralistic principles and to embrace the ethics of emergence... to be able to mutate and change by dynamically forming networks or better heterogeneous assemblages that would proliferate world in a truly open and unpredictable future where afresh will be ready to affect and be affected, to challenge and be challenged... this is what architect 3.0 needs to take under consideration. he or she needs to become an ant not a God, a system designer and not a MegaEgo, an architect that constructs distributed, ill defined, open, participatory systems.

from the other hand, I might be completely wrong... well, that is part of the risk I have decided to take...
