Radiant Daggers

Folks, I just couldn’t help myself…

We architects tend to be pompous at times… but really, we’re mostly a helpless lot at best.  So what do we do?

We set out to transform the world to suit our lofty ambitions… oh how delightful now, the hapless world attends our divine benevolence!

I just produced a short video to help…well, Transform Architecture, right after launching Quantum Architecture under the umbrella of Masonic sponsorship, literally to found a new Utopic  era!

In 1943 Ayn Rand wrote The Fountainhead. Incidentally, Ayn was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg to a bourgeois family — an irrelevant piece of information?  Perhaps.

Ayn also founded the Ayn Rand Institute, which impacted social dynamics in this country, as well as globally, with noted current leaders raised under her influence.

The ideas discussed in The Fountainhead, as embodied in its leading character, John Galt, are still relevant to the core of architectural principles, perhaps even more so today than in the 1950’s.

Atelier 8 is pleased to launch Quantum Architecture, a blend of Ayn’s ideas mixed with Jeffersonian and Masonic principles, but with a Quantum understanding of the underlying implications, laced with anticipation of new emergent paradigms.

I’m further pleased to write this blog, immensely inspired by Valya, a uniquely brilliant and dear friend, also from Russia, although born to royal bloodline, and bred to refinement…um another piece of insignificant detail?  Perhaps not…

So Bryan calls me around 1700 hrs:  “Iliad, it’s gotta be — it hit me last night — it’s gotta be about an ‘architecture with purpose’…  just throwing it out there for you.”

“Thanks B!”

Here it goes:

Quantum Architecture

What is Quantum Architecture?

It’s architecture for new consciousness,

Architecture that embraces a non-hierarchical social structure, yet is responsive to currency control and management of said structures.

It’s design for new fluid spatial dynamics.

It’s design for new social paradigms based on multiplicity of nodal points in 3^rd and 4^th dimensional matrices, and beyond.

And it’s about designs that construct with the latest material syntax, fully cognizant of molecular relevance of matter in the design of space and form.

Quantum Architecture harnesses the power of thought,

And designs structures that are conduits of energy, symbiotically sympathetic exoskeletal projections of thought.

It’s architecture that regards buildings as integrated and dynamic social machines,

And designs organic structures that become extensions of the occupant organism, responsive and “Intelligent” partners in living patterns.

We have for a long while been building broken castles in the sky with old adages:  form follows function…  but what is function?  a singular static purpose? or a pluralistic language of purposes?

The political and moral fabrics of yesteryear are ripping at the seams, and their sponsoring patterns are failing to answer current needs.

It’s time to embrace a new language.  And so these are the underlying ideas that will generate our new urban and civil forms.

Atelier 8’s Delta-3, a visionary group of three knights, will act as vanguard of this new direction in design and integrated social systems.

I’m truly delighted that the Delta-3 has been brought together by a quantum leap of faith…

Guys,

It was a delight…

Passion tempered with reason shall unfurl our sails onto yonder seas; and we, intrepid sojourners, destined by the trellis of kismet and grace of God, as Knights Templar, shall craft a mason temple ’round Parsifal’s quest.

“What ails you world?” that is the question.

Empathy is the transcendent state of existence in occidental dialect, far superseding the noble yet juvenile affectations of Hamlet: “to be or not to be.”

We shall do more than ‘to be’, we shall radiate unto the world a new paradigm architectonica, verily fashioned from Thor’s thunder!

May the winds be behind us and adventure our muse…

Yours In Arms

-Iliad

The contrived
God’s raw war dogs
Have been unleashed to
Deconstruct the constructed
Syntax

So that they may
Wield dominion over the minions’
Yielded souls,

Stolen eternally
To the glory
And consummation
Of the pervertors of sight.

Light has been usurped
By shadow’s might.

Master the dialectic
Of duality;
Evolve!

Evolve,
Reclaim your radiant soul;
There is no other way,
But to defeat light…

…With Light.

Inverted Pyramid at the Louvre

The Inverted Pyramid in the subterranean atrium of the Louvre is prophetic of the Illuminati’s ambition for a New World Order.

The perversion stands ominously and euphemistically on the base labor of lesser matter, exponentially expansive toward a brave new world.

Although on the surface the design may resound of largess, you must consider that the supporting pyramid beneath it is of dark and base matter.  The duality is innocuous were it not so deceptively inculcated through entrenched paradigms.

While this balance may correlate with now outmoded and refuted law’s of psychophysics, it nonetheless signifies a sinister perversion through overt symbolism.

Mass slave labor supports the luminous elite' evolution through the next axis ...on the human pyramid of Abu Ghraib prisoners

This notion becomes further manifest when one considers the latent meaning in the earlier renditions of the symbol, currently in circulation through the dollar currency.

And the intent of the symbol is further clarified when one considers the earliest manifestations of the symbol and the method of its realization through slave labor during Pharaonic Egypt.

Pyramid Slave Labor

…Time to Evolve!

Peace Out,

Freida, the ethereally crafted sweet and angelic visage of beneficent moral choice conspired by the master weavers of the matrix membrane…  While the pretentious crowd celebrates, and fêtes at its bloody red-carpeted galas and glitter-fest bashes, and while the happy shiny smiley puppets bask in the effluvium of their pathetically worthless acts of vicarious charity and sterilized compassion, the reality stands in stark contrast.

Stop yapping your empty nonsense and spewing your vacuous morality and brain-dead opinions, and for once, look at the subtext in the matrix of deception.

Look past the membrane of haze, you dunce, and try to see the mechanics of tyranny usurping the only thing that matters: your soul, your eternal soul – yeah, yeah I know, you’re so wise and omniscient that you know, YOU KNOW! that this is all there is to life.

…You idiot, you think you know that your soul, that which animates your ignorant flesh is confined to the shallow concavity of your perception, stewing in the regurgitated garbage that you take for your free choice and thought, but sadly you are wrong – I’m sure of it, cause I’m smarter than thou, ordained by thy Lord who ART in heaven – oh, refute that one if you can – go ahead!

Peace out,
-Iliad Alexander Terra
