Interview: Peter Eisenman 3.19.83 N.Y.
I found this old "Journal of the School of Architecture, Univertsity of Illinois at Chicago" at a downtown Hillcrest used bookstore, with a great interview of a young Peter Eisenman.
T: Do we ever need architecture?
PE: I do not know. It is even questionable in a mass consumer society if architecture can be anything more than decorating functions, like fashion design. But never confuse styling with poetry. I have never understood why a factory needs architecture, except for the problem of packing and marketing. in the deepest sense, I have never understood wht mass society needs architecture. The only people who need poetry or literature are those who in the deepest sense cannot do without it. I do not need Shakespeare for breakfast and Bach on Muzak. Only those people who wabt architecture should have it-it should not be force-fed to them. You ask if my ideas could help-I never thought that anybody's ideas could help. I think poets write poetry to help themselves. I need to design for myself. It is a fundamental need in the individual psyche. I do not physically need architecture; I need it physically. There are certain times when I might need architecture.I am not sure I have to live in it or work on it.

*Chingasu...!
Chingasu...! Electrisante presentacion de Bostich + Fussible en Lou's Records - Encintas Ca. U.S.A. el Lunes 9 de Junio, frente a no mas de 30-40 espectadores (mas gabachos q' mexicans, - diria yo ) los nortecos hicieron un verdadero perfomance estilo sesentero cabronsisimo, "los nortecs, son la neta del planeta" - diria un compa...!
Lo mas chingon fue escuchar a los gueros decir: "I don't know what is that?" - "Whoau...! What's that thing they're playing? - Cuando Ramon bostich y Pepe mogt sacaron sus tenori-on, que parecen como una Tableta Digital de Tetris, y mas futuristica que la guarida del Santo en sus peliculas, para hipnotizar a todo su publico. Pero si algo fue verdaderamente delirante esa tarde fue la trompeta (q' les debo el nombre del musico). Fijense bien lo que les voy a decir: - "No" pongan su mente en blanco, e imaginen lo mas irreberente - asi es Tijuana y la musica de estos dos artistas, una combinacion de Kraftwerk + Ramon Ayala (con todo y sus Bravos del Norte) + Herb Alpert, que solo en la caotica cd. de tijuas pudo nacer todo este ruido.
