a city with a unique atmosphere,
do we still care about tastes and emotions of a city in today's planning?

Church of Solitude, 1974-77
Gaetano Pesce's Church of Solitude was conceived in reaction to his experience of New York in the 1970s, where he saw people living together, "helter-skelter in crowds." To provide a serene place for introspection and contemplation, he buried the church beneath a vacant lot amid the towers of the city. The silent sanctuary incorporated small individual cells, a further retreat from the city's corporate and institutional culture. An excavated landscape was, for Pesce, an overlooked space that could provide for people's future needs.

education is being distorted, our core values are being invaded. i experienced almost the best few months within my education, but i could see the revolution: in a bad and narrow way. the teachers are no longer putting effort on the education itself and the students become slaves of projects and publication - personal and commercial achievement of teachers. the diversity is being reduced and the personality of the nordic pulse seems to be under the shadow.
maybe it will eventually become one of the thousands school which has been deteriorated into a condition that idealistic and proper architectural education no longer exist, but for the resources and fame, or one day they will realize what the school ought to be.
