Yes. Art has a way of making you see things differently!

Great. I’d like to see some rip-roaring, howling, side-splitting outdoor jokes, though it is a regrettable fact that what makes one generation laugh makes the next generation yawn. Nationalism, in its vicious forms, deserves ridicule. My Mum used to tell a wartime joke: ‘What shall we do to punish Hitler?’ Her answer was ‘Give him Ireland’. Holywood has done a better job of punishing Nazism than Nuremberg ‘We have ways of making you…’.

Perhaps one of those infamous turtle burgers you suggest will help with the sense of humour! [ http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/f81280aa85fd953392cd19d1f26bd61b68b2a8e8_m.jpg ]

Yes re Tschumi. Parc de la Villette was, and is, an exciting project in many ways. The disappointing aspects are (1) no interest in ecological or environmental issues (2) no sense of humour.

Perhaps by the use of deconstruction such as was used by Tschumi at Parc de la Villette there was an attempt to explore the fundamentals of architecture, landscape and design beyond heirarchy and order.[ http://www.archidose.org/Feb99/020199.htm ]
