The Architecture of Gorgons versus Its Persy

The tendency to overload on items of safety in our urban space creates a monster. Not in the outer, but we step in what we feel and moves us - living space, urban or private ...

It is monstrous:
- At cost, which is deformed by the percentage of items that show violence in a deaf-mute - crates, ofendículos, guards (armed, sometimes), watch towers, closed circuit TV, procedures and strategies of behavior, etc.. Etc. ....

- In the conduct which the defensive, transmutes into elusive - is the warning at the corner of the parade in the signal, which closed the car window to avoid contact with children fearful and helpless that invade us. We avoid them because they are memento mori. We avoid them, even if Brazilians Brazilians needing to survive. Are extra-social pact. Strangers to him. Aliens, in a certain way. Moving parts of the monster created by the ambivalent behavior of the growth model adopted. We are richer as a country. And assuming all the anxieties and difficulties of the inhumanity of accumulation prioritized.

- In appearance, which touches us so insidious and demoralizing - live railings so numbing - swapping places with the horde predator. We live fences and installing security equipment, resembling our condominiums to concentration camps and prisons, while contracts to architects to discuss the best strategy to ease the paranoia.

As we say often, predators occupy the street. Just walking through streets that were welcoming example of urbanity in traditionally residential neighborhoods, where he created the image of the sunset near the door, with children playing and talking inclusive. Where is everybody? I think we are in fear, cold region, foggy and dark of our living space, internal and external, who has as main characteristic to become prematurely aged and aggressive.

- In the absurd restrictions on our journey. We live in micro-regions of false security, with false hopes of survival based on the false image they can buy systems and insurance. Forget the gates. Not the metaphorical gates, which signal the move to tiered space, but of those who pretend to protect us and indeed are the territory in which all procedures, investments and lost illusions. Those where we longed to seek safety, but expose us to the fragility of our meal to serve as a monster - we are exposed to moving them. At the moment the horde in the stomach is turned inside out, as the pack animal that exposes the abdomen to show submission. In them we awaken to the fact that the most powerful bunker has its weakness in the lower portion. Where we entered and left. And with that agreed upon with the absurd - we minimize our world to close, fortress walls and gates of the misunderstanding to secure life. And we left to walk free. We hold ourselves. Restrict ourselves.

This is the Monster we adopt. Has no form, so more monstrous. There is evidence in their wake and shows our fear. So frightens us to the core.
But we used to, like the antelope the lion. And vice versa. They're the same prairie, savanna same. From time to time the lion eats. And the antelope follow to develop their skill endowments fugitive. Dodge. So what we do.

Perhaps our greatest challenge, to see a humble human being marked by the knowledge of architecture and urbanism. The violence is characteristic of the attack, but also the defense. The drilling of the abdomen by a bullet is equal in effect on that attacked defends himself as the aggressor. The fear of losing the same in both. Even though different in result, the Urban violence marks the predatory horde in the same way that the passive mass and preyed. And she reports built into our imagination. If the reports and deforms. Creates crusts and hunchbacked as useless as depressing.

We can do this by using energy (apparently negative, destructive) for another format? I think so. We can work with other aesthetic and functional model for our scale urban space and habitat? I think so. We can change this trend before it is too late and spend the barbarism to survive each day as if it were our only goal? I think so.

It is our responsibility. Our chance.
The slogan "Another world is possible" can be also adopted for this action.
It is used for caring enough to say that looks good for a depressed is part of treatment.
What other city model we propose, as we study it with care university?
This blog will make room for this. I believe in the Architecture of Happiness studied and proposed by Alain de Botton. I believe in the Architecture for an Architecture of Happiness.

As a roadmap that takes into account the true goal of designing spaces - Sheltered Happiness.
