The Rise of the So-Called Pre-Modern (2015)Graham, James ed. 2000+ The Urgencies of Architectural Theory

“There cannot be such a thing as a Pre-Modern, for it would mean that modernism has become the Archimedean point of understanding history backward into all of time and space.”

“We live in a globalized world, and architecture students should know the range of issues associated with their discipline as they encounter that world.”

“My definition of modernism is purposefully simple: Modernism is a condition of rupture.”

Ferdinand de Saussure

Cours de linguistique générale (1916)

"Language is no longer regarded as peripheral to our grasp of the world we live in, but as central to it. Words are not mere vocal labels or communicational adjuncts superimposed upon an already given order of things. They are collective products of social interaction, essential instruments through which human beings constitute and articulate their world. This typically twentieth-century view of language has profoundly influenced developments throughout the whole range of human sciences. It is particularly marked in linguistics, philosophy, psychology, sociology and anthropology".

Ruth Benedict

Patterns of Culture (1934)

A culture, like an individual, is a more or less consistent pattern of thought and action. Each culture chooses from "the great arc of human potentialities" only a few characteristics which become the leading personality traits of the persons living in that culture. These traits comprise an interdependent constellation of aesthetics and values in each culture which together add up to a unique gestalt.

“Countless old Indonesian words have been pushed into the background or been eliminated altogether, because the concepts and the ways of thought they express no longer correspond to any substantial reality in Indonesia’s contemporary cultural life.”

“Tidak perlu meniru-niru bentuk khas Toraja, Minangkabau, Bali, Batak dan sebagainya untuk mengusahakan terciptanya arsitektur Indonesia. Kita jangan mengambil bentuknya, tetapi jiwanya yang banyak menunjukkan ciri-ciri ketropisan.”
