#endless – @nickkahler on Tumblr

As destruction became a form of production, war expanded, not only to the limits of space but to all of reality. The conflict had become limitless and therefore endless. It would not come to an end, and, in 1945, the atomic situation would perpetuate it: the state had become suicidal.

Paul Virilio, Bunker Archaeology, 1975

Architects, both stars and start-ups, who walk these desolate terrains, are forced to languish, like the zombies of television’s The Walking Dead, on Shearer’s “endless bleeding journey” to continual disappointment.

Where is this fear of endlessness coming from? What might we learn when we avoid that urge to do something, and just allow the building to remain endless?
