Geopolitical architecture in an age of intense globalization
The most high-profile anti-globalization demonstrations occurred in cities such as Cologne, Genoa, London, and Seattle. Frequently coinciding with meetings of the WTO or G8, anti-globalization critics are censorious of the way neo-liberalism has eroded national boundaries and thus exposed communities to unwanted interference from global corporations, international institutions, and/or hegemonic powers

Geopolitical Architectures
The term geopolitical architecture is used to describe the ways in
which states and non-state organizations access, manage, and
regulate the intersection of territories and flows and in so doing
establish borders between inside/outside, citizen/alien, and
domestic/international. Governments, for instance, invest greatly
in the regulation of borders as they provide the entry/exit point into a national territory. Such border controls also become a
significant element in demonstrating effective sovereignty

'true taste' of Italian Renaissance architecture with the 'venerable barbarism' of the Gothic North.
(Sir Horace Mann)
Fiziksel anlamda bir eve ihtiyacımız olduğu kadar psikolojik anlamda da bir yuvaya ihtiyacımız var: bir kırılganlığı telafi etmek için. Zihinsel durumlarımızı desteklemek için bir sığınağa ihtiyacımız var, çünkü dünyanın büyük bir kısmı bağlılıklarımıza karşı çıkıyor.
At the software-architecture level, the complexity of a problem is reduced by dividing the system into subsystems. Humans have an easier time comprehending several simple pieces of information than one complicated piece. The goal of all software-design techniques is to break a complicated problem into simple pieces. The more independent the subsystems are, the more you make it safe to focus on one bit of complexity at a time.

The Essential Difference Between Architecture and Art
"The building must please eveybody. In contrast to the work of art, which does not have to please anybody. The work of art is a private affair of the artist. The building is not. The work of art is brought into the World without there being a need for it. The building supplies a need. The work of art is responsible to no one, the house to every person. The work of art wants to tear people from their comfort zone. The building must serve comfort. The work of art is revolutionary, the building is conservative. The work of art opens new avenues to mankind and thinks of the future. The building thinks of the present. Mankind loves everything that serves his comfort. He hates everything that wants to tear him from his habitual and safe position and that bothers him. And thus he loves the building and hates art. Thus does it not then follow that the house has nothing to do with art and that architecture would not be counted among the arts? So it is. Only a small part of architecture belongs to art: the gravestone and the monument. Everything else that serves a purpose can be excluded from the kingdom of art."
