The Third one is a book about the unique perpective designers have....it expresses how design knowledge can be defined, it questions the utility of drawings, it challenges accepted forms of design knowledge and much more.....very intersting ideas are raised here 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

That was it for today, we will see you next week for a different version of resource saturadays.....Good night and Happy Holidays 😉

Critical reason, by is very rigor, accentuates temporarily. Nothing is permanent; reason becomes identified with change and otherness. We were are not rules by identity, with it's enormous and monotonous tauologies, but by otherness and contradiction, the dizzying manifestation of criticism. In the past the goal if critisim was the truth is criticism. But an eternal truth, but the truth is change.

Good Evening all, its History and Theory Tuesdays 😀😀

Todays post will be a follow up of our last weeks topic, Afrofuturism and in particular its relation with architecture.....

To remind you of what we posted last time.......

While discussing amongst our group members, different outlooks were forwarded when defining what futurism, african architecture and afro futurism meant to them. Ideas that challenge the whole concept, ideas that took out different merits and concepts have been raised.That being said, todays post will some how be different to the previous ones as it aims to start further discussions by raising ideas from differnet sides to its relation with architecture......

Perspective 1 To some, afrofuturism is about more than simply referencing the past. They believe that Africa has finally reached a point where it can develop appropriate solutions to its own problems, rather than import ill-fitting designs from the west. Afrofuturism in design, and in general, is about aspiration for excellence, aspiration for intelligent engagement with our continent, for the purpose of overcoming our own challenges. It is people in these African contexts saying: Why do we have to wait for somebody to do it for us?

Perspective 2 Futuristic thinking involves the everyday life of ours where we contemplate anything ahead of us. even planning our route to school.
so there may be some mental scale to which we refer while judging an idea in calling it futurestic or not but its non the less futurestic.
This scale i mentioned may refer to how fast, how big, how cheap or any other solution regarding the use of resources. so when a solution stands out in a new or enhanced way , we acknowledge it as futuristic. so i think the same goes for africa, the scales are set by the rest of the world. so as africa isnot measuring up to it, we called it premitive. But i feel the change between now and yesterday, and now and tomorrow is also futuristic. Maybe we have to redefine the scale, or measure up to it for us to be seen as equals, if thats what we want.

Perspective 3 It makes sense that science fiction and film directors would look at structures as a way to comment on society: they’re the building blocks of our environments, and often define the ways in which we relate to each other. Consider the incredible architecture that came out of post-colonial Africa in the ’60s and ’70s, the subject of a fascinating retrospective at the Vitra Design Museum in 2016. Buildings with incredible, futuristic facades and daring shapes, proudly stretch over the cityscape of newly independent nations, and are imbued with optimism and references to vernacular design.
