On the economy of pseudo-flux, ground, solidity and the

subsidence

(Originally written for 'Homo.stasis' as an answer to Mehrdad

Iravanian: the Iranian

Architect, winner of international stone architecture, Italy-2002,

together with Mario Botta)

Mehrdad Iravanian: Automobiles are the magnetite volumes; last of a

group loyal to

Cartesian coordination attached to a determined surface for following

an objective: a known

limited random movement, in other word a limited autonomy presented by

environment as an

affordable media. They are relevant to surface but ironically the host

should not create a

stable situation but rather a repulsive one; so an automobile becomes

volatile matter for

immediacy.

The so-called force dynamic border is the actual property of an

automobile. The whole

existence of automobile is mobility; other than that it is a mere

composition: an alienated

building with minimum of border with despotic surface. When dynamic

border forced to be a

statical one under none of the discussed condition by ... the

objectivity of an automobile gains

a new dimension more or less statical or rather obstacle one; then

what is an automobile,

when it is not there; and if it is, it is a forceful bad chemistry of

different materials trying to

create an image of peaceful coexistence. Add to this, live pulse of

human system which always

is avoiding the cold metallic surface in quest of animal imitated

substitute: leather, a semimatrix

for adaptation to environment. There are always a mediator between two

concepts,

man and machine: the part.
