>Mark:  Adding a little more here to my response...the fears around both
climate and incohate hostility are a form of hysteria, without question,
but hysteria has always had the power to disrupt critical frameworks. 
About architecture and autonomy I was thinking that architects end up
designing for architects far more than artists in other fields design for
each other and this is because architects are the only real audience for
critical work in architecture.  The public and the inhabitant both have
distracted attentions for different reasons and other artists are
typically disappointed, or outraged, by the sense in which architecture
has sold itself out.  Archigram was playing in really interesting ways
with both sides of this equation.  Catherine
