_Manifesto (wip)_

_La testa di giano considers architecture as a form of knowledge. Therefore it uses the project as tool of struggle.

_La testa di giano is interested in investigating the "ideal". Therefore it's fundamentally convinced that the power of the "ideal" can be understood precisely in its distance from "utopia".

_La testa di giano is ambivalent. It actually compares two things at once. It believes that compare two variable at a time is enough. As such its tool is imperatively two-dimensional.

_La testa di giano uses the past as a tool for thinking about the future. It is inevitably located in the present.

_La testa di giano is suspended on the edge of misunderstanding because it doesn't openly talk about architecture as people or other architects are habit to expect. As a weapon, architecture doesn't necessarily have to be understood, it just has to shoot.

_La testa di giano does not endorse "creativity". In our contemporary democratic society, everyone acts like an artist. Considering creativity an oppressive form of production, this blog sets a critical thought against "creativity per se".

_La testa di giano is a "project of instability". Considering contemporary architecture stucked inside its contradiction it angrily injects further doses of contradiction. Here,contrary to Koolhaas, overdose aims at kill.

_La testa di giano doesn't exclude the possibility that to survive, architecture, must be pre-emptively destroyed. The funeral of architecture it's far more sustainable than its agony.
