Rebel Yell

Santi Cirugeda and his essentially profitless architecture group are for the community. In the midnight hour, he built more, more, more. Well he's out all night to collect no fare. Just so long, just so long, it don't mess up his hair. Which i'm sure he's lost because of all the legal loop holes he's having to jump through. You can see the pride in his work, pride in his city, pride in activating spaces that don't have funding or have decomposed. Something beautiful about the collective, uniting on a common goal for bettering a community or city. They give it all, and have none, babe. Justa, justa, justa, justa to take a stance, and produce architectural solutions to a financial crisis. Harvey said it well, "It is, moreover, a collective rather than an individual right since changing the city inevitably depends upon the exercise of a collective power over the processes of urbanization." I understand your initial opinion from class, Cody. I've dried your tears of pain, babe. A million times for you. But I believe the collective has the opportunity to filter and consolidate healthy ideas. The collective has the possibility of growth and creating an identity.  So although Seville may be in political and economical turmoil, the collective can make a difference. Santi not only is encouraging and supporting the users of the city through the end result, the process has become educational and unifying.
