Title: El Croquis 208. Dogma 2002.2021 Authors: Fernando Márquez Cecilia and Richard Levene Language: Spanish and English “For us no complexities, no contradictions,… no diagrams, no icons, no data, no programs, no mapping, no statistics, no blobs, no parametric formalism, no icons…no non-standard architecture… no originality, no novelty, no newness, no nostalgia, no sixties, no utopia. no irresponsibility, no life-mirroring… no coercion” “Por nosotros, no a las complejidades, no a las contradicciones… no a los diagramas, no a los iconos, no a los datos, no a los programas, no al mapeado, no a las estadísticas… no a lo informe, no al formalismo paramétrico, no a los iconos… no a la arquitectura no estándar… no a la originalidad, no a la novedad, no a lo novedoso, no a la nostalgia, no a los sesenta, no a la utopía… no a la irresponsabilidad, no al reflejo de la vida, no a la coerción.” Dogma, Architecture Refuses, Manifesto Marathon, Serpentine Gallery. 2008 “There is a growing interest in more socially oriented ways of living, such as co-housing or sharing domestic space beyond the single-family housing complex. But what is rarely mentioned is that these forms of living require little effort. Living together requires less individual freedom, although that may not be a bad thing. The question is whether such forms of living should be developed only for economic needs, or whether it is only by sharing and living together that we can regain the true subjectivity that Karl Marx described so beautifully with the oxymoron “social individuals”: individuals who only really become individuals among other individuals. In this case less means precisely recalibrating a form of reciprocity that is no longer driven by possession, but by the act of sharing; the less we have in terms of possessions, the more we are able to share.
