2002: ASSEMBLY (Architects & Planners) (Founder & GM) Manifesto

ASSEMBL, cannot be seen conservative nor formalist, the phenomena of the removal of all boundaries, the new electronic media & the e-topian alternative having architecture been so pushed into most vibrant elements in universal contemporary culture. Experimentalists are those who are following a lead for multiplicity, "searching for it", crossing over re-categorize architecture into overlapped disciplines. Attempts to be integrated through the readings of many fields and beyond traditional ones. Investigating the architecture of all virtual and human relationships, as architecture becomes contradictory aggressive, but authentic, real but virtual, magic & erotic, collaborative, abstract, sexual, sacred and dynamic.

"[It] becomes no specific building nor architectural ones", when it becomes the situationst architecture, the product of spontaneous. After all, "Urban politics and radical art –tecure would never be the same. The ideological deviation and expulsion pushes to re-think differently, some times minimalist or even surrealist. It is the abstract expressionist that may look the new paradigm if not a movement for the renewal of art –tecure and urbanity against the aggression of commerciality and its black hole. It would be the regionalist in abstract expressionist. It shall be part of 'civil & cultural minimum', a continuation of social and cultural nexus, towards 'popular culture' with linkages and the refusal of the brutality of the new melting pot.
