Revolution? Architecture and the Anthropocene
There is almost nothing new left to say about the urgent need to reduce our devastating impact on the biosphere that supports us. In architectural terms, we have been told since the 1960s that mainstream architecture is not engaged enough with the environmental consequences of what it produces and how it produces it. The usual approach is to propose new ways of designing and building to persuad…

BERGMANEl Guardián De La Nada
Hay una obra inmensa, compleja, abismal, polifacética: se trata de la filmografía de Ingmar Bergman. De todos estos atributos me quedo con el último: obra polifacética. La diversidad de caras suele pensarse como orientaciones distintas y hasta asimilarse a una cierta dispersión del sentido. Recusa estas atribuciones la imagen del poliedro, que le es directa y certeramente asociada. Hay ent…
