..the legend..

“The city is a web, a piece of woven fabric; a text. And the text of our lives is in turn inscribed on the city and on the house, on the spaces we inhabit. To search for these inscriptions we draw a map of the city as it exists in tension with our lives. But these inscriptions are overlaid with later changes, partially obscured and altered. We constantly make tiny changes to the city, to our houses, everyday. Those tiny changes accumulated in something called age. Age is the accumulation of tiny changes. Our memory ages so does the city. In our search for our lives we constantly renew our city and our memory of it. We are the architects of our lives.”

Taken from the essay, 'Walter Benjamin, Ambling Through the City of the Mind' by Jacob Voorthuis.

Dr J.C.T Voorthuis lectures in Architecture & Philosophy at the Technical University of Eindhoven at the Academy of Architure in Rotterdam
