The Politics of Architecture : Theorizing through speculative spatial practices.


"He rubbed his eyes. The riddle of his surroundings was confusing but his mind was quite clear - evidently his sleep had  benefited him. He was not in a bed at all as he understood the word, but lying naked on a very soft and yeilding mattress, in a trough of dark glass. The mattress was partly transparent, a fact he observed with a sense of insecurity, and below it was a mirror reflecting him greyly. Above his arm- and he saw with a shock that his skin was strangely dry and yellow - was bound a curious apparatus of rubber, bound so cunningly that it seemed to pass into his skin above and below. And this bed was placed in a case of greenish-coloured glass (as it seemed to him), a bar in the white framework of which had first arrested his attention. In the corner of the case was a stand of glittering and delicately made apparatus, for the most part quite strange appliances, though a maximum  and minimum thermometer was recognizable."

Preface (1921) ” The great city of this story is no more than a nightmare of Capitalism triumphant, a nightmare that was dreamt a quarter of a century ago. It is a fantastic possibility no longer possible. Much evil may be in store for mankind, but to this immense, grim organization of servitude, our race will never come” H.G. Wells. Easton Glebe, Dunmow,1921.

Research~Creation : A Movement of Thought-Thought in the Act

A movement of thought (Bergson) becomes active and in this activity a new register begins to take shape. This new register is neither art per se nor philosophy, it is study, it is practice, it is speculation.

Photographic Bodies/Metaphors/Pathology : Flesh and Bone/Text and Image

The image appears to be a page from an artist's or designer's sketchbook, featuring a mixed-media collage and handwritten notes. 

The content combines various materials like translucent colored film squares, opaque paper cutouts, and handwritten text.

Handwritten notes mention "Spatial Practices," "Jane Bennett," and "combination of somatic effects," suggesting an academic or artistic project exploring themes of space, philosophy, and sensory experience.

The collage technique involves assembling different forms and materials to create a new composition.

It is likely a preparatory page for a larger work, documenting research and ideas.
