Dialogues: Contemporary Theory Final


Get real! But being real does not exist!
The chain of signifier have created merely all the value or concept nominated in every fields. Among many creation, some appear extremely superficial there rise counter movement attempting to draw closer to the ideal of being honestly pure or absolute true. However there could never be attained to the unquestionable level. We can never begin anything out of nothing, for the truth that there is none, but rather artificially perceived concept that draw an initiatives in creating something.

The situation took place within the faculty’s hallway after school. This is the conversation between two classmates. Here its goes...

A: Hey, How you doing? want to join my party tonight?
B: yeah sure, wher,,,,
A: Suck it ......Nerd!?
B: That presupposition exists merely only as your opinion toward my being.
A: sure! look at all these girls I have got,
B: These females is only perceived your existence superficially. 
A: huh? what have you been smoking?
B: The nominating reasons for your popularity underlies by society futility,
A: Yeah bitch!, That’s why I don’t care about anyone or anything. 
B: No! It is just your attempt. You appears as a hardass rebel who doesn’t give a shit about  anything, wear whatever you want to wear, and say whatever you want to say. 
If everyone act just like you do, then you perhaps will move on and be some style else, just 
any posers do. Within few year,s you perhaps get a goggly glasses and tight collar shirt because everyone is now starting to dress like you do right now.
But the truth is that you are the person that care too much of public opinion, The person who doesn’t care what society think about them are the one who dress like that.
**** NERD IMAGE ****
They are wearing saggy pants, because it makes them comfortable sitting through long hours of class.
They are carrying huge fuckin refrigerator-like bags because that’s what they need and make their lives easier.
Now, tell me about your tightass pants and how to take a piss. Who is the bitch now?

A: Fine, you want to get academic with me right, Bitch? What you are saying is that
appearance absolutely have nothing to do with the value of its existence?. why do u join this faculty then? we are all about forms and senses in which you just claimed strongly have nothing to do with the true nature of it.

What is your strongly theorized opinion on Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier? Are you telling that one of greatest architecture in the world exists merely through superficial appearance supporting its claim for modernism? 

B: I saw it as realized simulacrum of the promising lies, the manifestation of virtuality in forms. What do u know its facade and surfaces. If Le Corbusier would want to be truly honest why don’t he leave the surface pure concreted with the traces of its reinforced steels. This apply to almost all of modern architects. Let’s say all the city on earth would be as Chadigarh, then it would exist with no significances. Always dystopia which leads to promising news concept (Utopia) which couldn’t be made significantly or even considered exist without its anti-theisis. (Heterotopia). 


A:  So you are considering all these great works deceits? 

B: Not exactly, I only means that all the conceptions are only hyperreality optimized into simulacrum.

A: Then what kind of thing would be so genuinely true, pure,  pristine and honest as you could disregards all these great works as whatever the hell you are saying. 

B: There is none, as mentioned by Jean Baudrillard ‘The silmulacrum is never that which conceals the truth, it is the truth which conceal that there is none. The simulacrum is true’ 

A: Yeah? What about our senses you can’t deny that my fist, which is about to be put right into your faces is not real? 

(Semiotics) 
B: It is not, It exist only through my perception of visual and senses.

A: So why don’t you let me leave some of indexical signs to your iconic signs of your existence?


Later on at Sarm yarn

A: Ah! man, We won’t be drinking like this by the next year. Chula gonna demolish all these shophouses into condominium.

C: Money yo!, that’s what i am talking about

A: what the are u saying? these place belong to this community even though not by law but by value. 

C: what do u mean? condominium is also the form of community as well. Always the old community being replaced, then the new become old, and so on.

A: well, i think the ways these shophouses look, how street being occupied, It resembles our living. it tells stories this have been the forum for our time being during university life.

C: So you are talking about being local. Tell me about it? nothing is local, tell me where the heck this shophouses you are so eagerly to preserved came from? You can’t start something from nothing

if everyone think the same as you perhaps we are still living a caveman lives chasing flies and humping Monkey. We won’t build anything because they are all superficial. 

Anyway, Thank you for teaching this contemporary theory class. We are truly appreciate your lectures. 
Thank you

Deep Ecology


In our Cosmo, everything is all connected and work like a system, Only one event changed it can send the consequence to effect  everything. 
In my opinion, deep ecology is everything that become one, we only one part of the Cosmo not the center of the universe. We are only a part of the system that have our different duty to do. If talk about ecological with architecture, we cannot build the building by ignoring the surrounding context. We always have to do clearly on site analysis to concern that how our building will effect to the existing space and community. 
For me the role of architecture now a day should be more concern about the effect to the future. We have improve the technology since after world war I and II these all change the way of our thinking and living. From these 60-70 years previously its true that our world are grow fastest in the history but now everything that we think its the right way and benefit these thing its start to totally change to be opposite site. The idea of modernism and the way of urban planning change the way of people living to using the hugh amount of resources and destroy natural system. The way that we're doing its not sustainable and keep produce the artificial world to concern only our humanity comfort. We should start to looking more deep on what will going on to the future not only looking from the surrounding context and the random inexplicable concept as we have learning.
