The architecture has also become the guardian of the real (architecture being seen as bricks and mortar in a world of increasing devaluation of thing that are real). In the recreated replay world of simulation (partly inspired by the ever-present television), it is difficult for anyone to be anyone; instead, people are as they are supposed to be as proposed for them by television. Because of this, there exists in the public or collective unconscious a deep-seated need for a return to the authentic, to the real, to the experience itself. Architecture has unwittingly and unconsciously become in the public’s last repository of the real.引自 A Critical Practice: American Architecture in the Last Decade of the Twentieth Century
