Statement 24

An architectural discourse about Sustainability - from a cultural and theoretical point of view- totters on irrelevancy. The reason we want its illusions of 'science’ and ‘management’ to exist is so that there is a fixed point on which to leverage design and policy, but that Archimedean point - and the utopian project of modernity on which it is founded - does not exist and to hold on to the illusion is absurd. Just as religion is the opium of the masses. Sustainability is now the opium of architects and technocrats.
