<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello Trebor and friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm Mila and I expect being with you in this work.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would like to frame the town center as a working area,
like Arthur. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm deeply interested in relations and neighboorhood
created between 'oficial' inhabitants of the old center and the homeless people
who ocupy it pointing different ways of living - fragile and instable
forms, subversive use of the public equipaments, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But once the focus is on the relations and
its complexity, I believe that the resulting graffic would not point
dots on the map, but blurred zones around dots on the map.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As written by Ignasi de Solá-Morales, when talking about
architecture's critical role<EM>, criticism today can undertake the production
of maps or descriptions wich, like topographical charts, reveal the complexity
of a territory...</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>And for the purpose or use of the SPMAP? we are going to
build, I'll talk trough the same author:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Arial>Criticism is thus not the recognition or manifestation
of branches but is itself a construct, purposefully produced to cast light on
that situation, as a means of drawing the topography of that point where a
certain architecture has been produced.</FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Sorry for my poor english and I hope my friends can
give me a helping hand when I have to write in
portuguese.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
