Chapter 04_Politics and the Situationist International_Reading

Winters (2007) addresses the fundamental issues between built and paper architecture.
Paper architecture might provide some sort of overarching vision for society, but perhaps this is not the most important asset for a built project.  Rather, they should envisage and incorporate the mapped patterns of life.  "A man's life is there to be chosen.  It is, therefore, a problem for a man, but not for an animal, as to how he might live."
Winters summarises the importance for vision, but at the same time imparts the path of the pragmatic.  Architecture is a pragmatic confluence of vision - real and pseudo.
