so it would seem that there might be a common theme that runs through all the students i have for thesis- spaces for eunuchs (mayuris personal and interesting story), the results of deviant and illegitimate sex (kalpit and the legalisation of prostitution), the "secrets" of the city (ashish's strange vision of the city as thinking calculating organism), the interstices between ownerships (panchals world caught in between the railway and the road), the law itself (sabnis and the secular constitution's relationship with religion)...
is it only my imagination that this thread exists..
or that i imagine the concern is particular to their theses.
for is not architecture all about power in any case..
and this need to destabilize its inherent nature perhaps only results in not being able to embrace the potential of architecture to empower ..
for empowerment perhaps lies in the act of articulating as existent.. of staking a claim to being legitimate.
and affirmative action as intent need not be necessarily dismissed as archaic idealism.
