Let us consider ourselves dumb and refrain from yet another collection of apocalyptic texts masked as research proposals and propositions that may more or less fail to illuminate architecture in any new contestative or interrogative way. Let us read something as if it is true and cannot be contested. Let us be as gullible as some experts consider us to be. Let us analyse the therapeutic positives in the negative crisis. Let us try and understand what close reading is today? Is it late-reading? Let us not doubt whether this text is not even worthy of any deep analysis. Let’s just exist in denial. Let’s celebrate that old chestnut again: the relation between architecture, modernity, and crisis. Let’s not throw stones. Let’s not speak up. Let’s be thankful for ideology and not bread.
