Oh look at me I can use a bunch of big words to beoch about how I don't like something because I can't understand that some innovation comes from whimsy…"social transformational holisticizing whaa whaa. If you don't let you imagination run a bit you get giant eastern block apartments built out of cement with all the flavor of a prison camp. How about you let that walnut brain fill up with something other then book smarts and maybe then you can tackle all those problems with some aesthetic value as well. I hate your face and your moms fat.

Lately it seems architecture has been reduced to a series of installations or orchestrated spectacular happenings, as inadvertently it has been associated with wit. The Polish Pavilion simply follows the established new norm. “To get out of here” as they write, is merely escape, it is a surreal commentary if anything, this being another entry that doesn’t bring forth discrete ideas as to how to possibly deal with the social transformations that indeed have materialized in the city, as they correctly observed. Perhaps part of the problem of the current state of architecture is its distaste not only of a holistic synthetic approach, but especially of the humanitarian sciences. The answers are all out there, if we architects consciously engage ourselves…

Ola! I wish to go to find my exit too!
No emotions without control. No control without emotions.
Beautifull jumping lady, beautifull installation!

The public were allowed to jump during a test period, which was filmed and is now screened inside the pavilion.
