I wonder what it would have sounded like if the whole class read their poems at the same time. In addition, I wonder how you would expand on this project or concept in the future.

Simon Sadler - Notes Towards a History of Change

Bernard Tschumi - Spaces and Events (From Architecture and Disjunction)

As a consequence of all this, Pallasmaa.J (2005) suggests architecture is now an endangered art form due to the weakening embodied experience of time and sensuality threatened by political, cultural, economic, cognitive and perceptual developments.

This week’s readings are a good summary of the class it relates a lot of themes that we talked about in class, like identity, connectivity, access, anonymity, The quote that i wish to explore upon more this week: “In late modernity, ‘self actualization is understood in terms of a balance between opportunity and risk’ Both the opportunities and risks arise because self actualization is a social process. Selves are constituted through interaction with others and, for today’s teenagers, self-actualization increasingly includes a careful negotiation between the opportunities (for identity, intimacy, sociability) and risks (regarding privacy misunderstanding, abuse) afforded by internet-mediated communication” (Livingstone 2010, 478). This quote represents everything about this course but also everything about the internet it is indeed, filled with risk and opportunity. Risks can include identity theft, Opportunity can include world change. I really enjoyed reading these chapters, they resumed very well the class. This quote also indicated the interaction of identity construction online.  

The reason why I decided to reblog Keyword post was because I felt like it was relatable to my post. The word she chose to describe her room was Freedom like me. I like how she starts her post saying that at the beginning she thought that her room was quiet and a place to do homework but since these assignments she has changed her mind. I enjoyed that she did not only have one text but three texts she related to her space. It helped me realized that my space also relates with the text Corners. I enjoyed reading these post because it was interesting to see that how people saw their space differently now at the end of this assignment.
