Editorial Note / (2+2=5)

Is it necessary to plan a city, or is it just desirable?
And if it is necessary, then how can we create such abstract systems which we actually cannot even fully percept?
Do we, city dwellers, see ourselves as subject moving around in an accumulation of Objects or are we rather a part of a living organism, acting in an ever changing setting?
Does it make sense to define, describe and plan an environment of elements and can we really control its outcome?

This blog deals with the differences between the planed and the built, between the parts and the hole, between the different notes and the chord,
between the field of architecture and the build environments.

This blog is about the influence the city has on its inhabitance and about the influence they have on the city,
Its about the life of the city and the lives within it,
and maybe most of all, it’s about trying to understand the urban reality,
and not the architect’s model.

We want to see the city as a product and an engine of our everyday lives as well as we want to see ourselves as a part of its growth.
The machine cannot be controlled nor disarmed,
so we watch it in action,
inject our part,,,
