A text concerning the chasm between architecture and Architecture; architecture defined as architecture the way the public sees it and Architecture defined in the way the discipline sees it.

It is a statement on the ironic creation and upholding of this gap through the discipline's ignorance and abandonment of the inherent power (obligation?) of the architectural (defined by me) - the subtle power to create a bridge between architecture and Architecture through the impossible, experiential moments at the intersection of contradictory things.

This book is an index of the architectural - these moments of conflict, solution, discussion, experimentation, vulgarity, refinement, occupation, loss, inhabitance, and the sublime.

Moments where architecture is Architecture are all but lost right now.

Perhaps due to unmanaged ego or lack of focus and intent.

No longer a pragmatic discipline for people, us, it is an insular, chaotic, practice for the "creators."
