"those monolithic forms, which apparently threaten us, are more  
authentic
and generate more difference than context-specific attitudes, than  
the most
scrupulous fragmentation can ever generate."
Rem Koolhaas


Very nice quote, that's what I meant to express (in a much less  
elegant way). Context-specificity may be our hot air balloon with a  
leak... I'm not so sure which ballast I would like to take on to  
avoid endless free floating. Buth then again, the leak might take  
care of that...
