Short Reflection - Week 4

This weeks reading (Politics and the Situationist International), was a bit harder to relate directly to the assignment considering we had just visited the site. But it did highlight how the political climate can influence the aesthetic qualities in architecture. It did remind me of a book that I really loved about Soviet Russian Architecture. I really loved the way the bold concrete forms reflected to sternness of the whole nation. Although I didn't gain to much directly related to the assignment it did open my thinking to the subtitles in society that effect everything from human activity to the shape and visual quality of the built environment.
