PUBLIC SPACE: ARCHITECTURE'S PLACE OF DWELLING AND COMING INTO BEING Professor Zeev Druckman




PUBLIC SPACE: ARCHITECTURE'S PLACE OF DWELLING AND COMING INTO BEING
Professor Zeev Druckman
(English Translation by Elen Rochlin)

When we come to place ourselves in the world, all the concepts of existence that have ever been thought up by human beings throughout all generations are cast at us in a chaotic pell-mell. True enough, we do have at our disposal precedents, experience, a given situation, accumulated knowledge, global technology to appeal to. Yet all these are nothing but part of the "torrent" of concepts and phenomena which do not help to make simpler the existence of a clear and distinct horizon. Comparable to the exploding of meteorites.
