So...

Robert Somol, Patron Saint of Cool, and ironically not that cool.

...glad you're here, but it's not always about you. Sometimes I can't believe how selfish you are.

What I plan to do in this space is find myself, or perhaps better stated, my voice, within the theoretical environment in the architectural discipline.

Careful readers who concern themselves with the nuance of intellectual argumentation as pertaining to cultural production might suggest that by crafting the mission statement in this way, as being concerned with “the theoretical environment in the architectural discipline”, I've set in place a necessarily prescriptive domain within which I must operate as the issue of disciplinarity is central to the navigation of the theoretical environment and by suggesting there is an architectural discipline within which the node must be assigned I've conceded the ground from which to discuss a theory of architecture in contemporary terms.

Those readers should suck my balls.

This weekend we’ll break down the statement “theoretical environment in the architectural discipline” and see if we can’t get all Derrida on that bitch. Deconstruct that mother scratcher and see if we can’t formulate a mission statement that will allow us to find ourselves within some notion we could agree to call a contemporary theory of cultural production.
