A series of arguments about the possibility (and convenience) to approach architecture theory as a form of storytelling, and as a consequence, architecture as a collection of narratives.
A dive into theories and buildings belonging to the early history of modern architecture, aimed at putting them in relation with an emerging culture of the surface in western society, which anticipates phenomena more famously observed and theoreticized in the late 1960s by Venturi & Scott Brown.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Charles Jencks: “This proclaimed the
death of the International Style of
Modernist architecture, the end of
“buildings as machines for living”
envisioned by the abstract
functionalist”.
5. PO MO
V ERNACULAR
In 1972, the American Architect Robert Venturi formulated
the postmodern creed.
In place of the unilateral “glass boxes”, po mo architects
offers the vernacular, an emphasis on the local and
particular as opposed to modernist universalism.
A return to ornament, with reference to the historic past
and its symbolism, but in the ironic manner of parody,
pastiche, and quotation.

The New York

Johnson.
7. Po mo Architecture’s ironic
energy, its radical eclecticism, seem
to give immedicate credibility to
postmodern theory. This is because
the building itself serves as visible
proof of the theory.
Le Cobusier:
“We could achieve the transformation
of sociallife by transforming
architectural space as a substitute
for political revolution.”
8. C OMPUTERIZING
DIFFERENCE
Modernist experimenters failed to
change the world of capitalism—in fact,
the utopian purity of their glass towers
ended by glorifying the power of banks,
airlines and multinational corporations.
Po mo architects CANNOT avoid being
employees of capitalism. They CANNOT
invent history simply by changing the
look of buildings.

Advertising Hyperreality
- advertising is not merely to
create dreams and desires, but to
endanger a new commodified
reality shaped by a company’s
logo or slogan.
22. The Benetton campaign encapsulates the
past, present, and future in a single time
frame offering images which conjure
historic, futuristic, and apocalyptic element
within a grammar of race.
Difference is commodified and a portrait of
plurality is produced.
This is advertising as a “social conscience”, an
artificially constructed reality that projects an
image of harmony to sell a brand name.
