Iterations: Marketing Strategies (I): Ciro Najle’s Motherhouse
November 24, 2009
Just for the sake of clarity, I’d like to assure that this does not reflect neither an unconscious -or conscious- obsession with Ciro Najle -whose own obsession I find truly interesting- nor an attempt to capitalize on the fact that, for some unexplainable reason, the cartoon about the Motherhouse lecture (the mother of all lectures) is one of the most popular within the site. That was a long sentence; the explanation goes on: This cartoon was sketched at around the same time as the original one, and illustrates very accurately two facts: a) The tendency of ideas to appear in clusters; b) The very limited number of ideas I can come up with. In any case, I promise that I won’t be redesigning the same joke for the next fifteen years.
I think fourteen’s more than enough

And, in this academic year, we’ll feature more and (more) bitter comment on the state of things in architecture. Special thanks to those 3,200 loyal viewers that kept the site alive in these two months (yes, 2!) without updates. Keep reading!
