Ruben PhilipsenMy dear mother (82), Museum Langen Fondation, Neuss, Germany, 2023.<br> <br> None of us know how much time we have but, interestingly, time is relative, depending on its observer rather than an immutably fixed constant everywhere in the universe. Our perception of time is especially influenced by our own perspective: Are we living in the moment or looking backward on time? It’s also influenced by our memory of past experiences. As we get older the rate at which we process experiences slows down and thus time seems to “speed up”. The many and often new things young children have to do in a day contribute to their notion that time is more plentiful. Therefore, when looking back, time may feel slower. This can apply to adults, too. When we look back on a time period that was filled with lots of new and exciting things we see a large expense of events and memories. They make it seem like time stretches out. Looking back on fewer moments that have past, the less rich your own representation is, the more it’s going to seem like time went by quickly. Thus, how we process what we experience and see influences how we view time. Not introducing new patterns into your life, can make you feel like time is going by much quicker overall.<br> <br> The whole concept of “time being of value” only has meaning for living, breathing, thinking and feeling beings. Afterall, a universe with nothing living in it would have nothing of value in it because there would be nothing to appreciate that value itself. Hence, life is the sufficient and necessary condition for anything of value. I think the trick is to make life an adventure - be it in your imagination, in real life or both - not tedious and unimaginative.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mymother?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mymother</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhite</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tv_simplicity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tv_simplicity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/archiporn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiporn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tadaoando?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tadaoando</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/langenfoundation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#langenfoundation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/inselhombroich?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inselhombroich</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhitephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhitephotography</a> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/contemporaryphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemporaryphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/contemporaryart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemporaryart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bnwphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bnwphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architectlovers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architectlovers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/minimalzine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minimalzine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/9minimal?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#9minimal</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gottolove_bnw?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gottolove_bnw</a>
Craig Constantine<p><strong>Architecture</strong></p><blockquote><p>Nature and artificial, entirety and piece, universality and uniqueness, the past and the present. Architects are tormented by the constant conflict of these dualistic propositions! The deeper and more intense the tension is, the more dynamic the creation becomes. That is why architects must continue thinking.</p><p>~ <a href="https://constantine.name/tag/tadao-ando/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tadao Ando</a>, from <a href="https://the-talks.com/interview/tadao-ando/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tadao Ando – The Talks</a></p></blockquote> <p>slip:4uteie30.</p> <p>Of course, not just architects must continue thinking. I find so much more value within things (for example, a conversation) when I hold up pairs of opposites as Ando suggests. Each pair suggests a dimension for consideration, and it’s easier than just staring into the original thing looking for the interesting parts.</p><p>ɕ</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://constantine.name/tag/architecture/" target="_blank">#Architecture</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://constantine.name/tag/tadao-ando/" target="_blank">#TadaoAndo</a></p>
