"The biggest temptation is to jump right in. There are solutions that come to you. There are images that spontaneously appear. My method is rather to hold back as long as possible, to really imagine it spatially, so to be sure I have something to say."

"The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. Each evening we see the sun set. We know that the earth is turning away from it. Yet the knowledge, the explanation, never quite fits the sight.”
"What makes photography a strange invention – with unforeseeable consequences – is that its primary raw materials are light and time.”

Friday night frolics - On weathering by David Leatherbarrow.
Searching for strategies and the comparison to Kolumba Musuem.
I wonder what Pete Zumthor does in comparison on a Friday night?

PLACE: Sterling-esque plan of the Square Do O Seculo - the dotted line illustrates a potential route with which to climb the retaining wall and access my personal site. The path will cut into, as well as extrude from, the monumental stone structure.

[still from Lisbon Story, Wim Wenders 1994]
“To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.”
― Susan Sontag, On Photography 1977

Another gem from Carlos Mardel's repertoire. This architect's productivity from 1740 - 1763 is incredible.
Mae d' Agua, Obidos 1754.
'The shaping of volume is so compelling in its starkness and purity that ornament would be superfluous. The stately rhythms and the simplicity of these forms clearly show what continuity there was between the architectural tradition of the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries and the rationalist, functional plainness of the new Lisbon that arose after the earthquake.'

Águas Livres Aqueduct, constructed in 1748 bringing water to the metropolitan city from 20km in Olival do Santíssimo.
On a more relevant note, this supplied the water to the fountain in the square of Rua de Seculo (my site). A celebrated feature that held high importance to urban spaces, water was once a rare commodity and so highly esteemed in Lisbon.
