I wish I could read Latvian... but, alas... I have yet to travel to that part of the world... the closest was probably Ukraine. However, I'm glad you were able to make use of the futurist's manifesto. It's an intriguing piece of writing. Best of luck with whatever project you are working on. I've added you to my friends list... because I appreaciate your photography and because I hope you might enjoy reading about my life as much as I enjoy reading of yours.
Ciao!

And, this night your post like a roving bird behind a window smashed into my monitor.

Damn its a good piece of theory. :)

ps. actualy its a Lithuanian. but latvia is wery near. ;)

I work now on the theme "how politic ideologies of 20th century influenced devolopment of Lithuanian cities"

hrm... well, if Lithuanian cities are anything like Ukrainian cities [meaning there was a heck of a lot of social though put into them because of the USSR and such] then the Futurist Manifesto has a heck of a lot to do with them. I remember driving through Kiev and how HUGE the roads were and how unused they were and the enormous concrete flats which marked our rapid movement through the city just as their passing shadows marked the movement of the sun as the day wore by.

It was beautiful.

Not that most Americans would think it was...

But it was deleriously beautiful.

Perhaps you should look at the writings of Le Corbusier, if you haven't already. I'm sure you have because his simple geometries and obsession with the city as a machine are really pertinent to the development of a lot of Eastern European cities. Hrm... and CIAM, of course. They were sort of an off-spring of Le Corbusier but they were a little more sensitive to humans in the city and more realistic with their urban ambitions.

Anywho... best of luck with the paper.
