. Trash People are German artist HA Schult installed in Piazza del Popolo in Rome. An army of men of tin which will remain in place until the end of month. It is a thousand statues, amounting to 35 tons of municipal and industrial waste compacted and recycled: cans, computer keyboards, boxes, old circuit, that want to be a representation of society today, a spectacular provocation that this shows that we we consume. Since 1996 Trash People are traveling around the world, from Paris to Moscow from Beijing to Brussels. Text taken from

Que Version Es Mi Ps2
Architecture and crisis
At first it seemed a speech with the usual, to the abstract as a lesson in technical physics, and for me, maybe I am a bit ' too materialistic, it was hard to hear. But it took the final point made - one on the videophone to be clear - to overthrow the whole and re-read the question in another perspective. It is something so trivial as to be brilliant. We have the solution before your eyes and none - or almost - if they have noticed? 
At first it seemed a speech with the usual, to the abstract as a lesson in technical physics, and for me, maybe I am a bit ' too materialistic, it was hard to hear. But it took the final point made - one on the videophone to be clear - to overthrow the whole and re-read the question in another perspective. It is something so trivial as to be brilliant. We have the solution before your eyes and none - or almost - if they have noticed? Let's outline.
A - the crisis raises an aesthetic of rupture and change (Baudrillard)
B - modernity transformed the crisis in value (Bruno Zevi)
C - modern architectures are those that express the result of a crisis that is that come out of the confrontation with the problem of a particular time
D - after analysis the most representative cases in the history of architecture of the crisis, there remains only one thing to ask before you act: WHAT '
therefore analyze our time, our ways of living and thinking, traveling, seeing, look in the future because we have to solve the real problems, not the ones printed in books or seen on television.
Here are 3 questions would like to bring to the attention Course:
- meaning "mental landscape"?
- the result of the whole discourse on modernity / crisis / architecture is that the architectural research should go in the direction of the break?
- because you can not start concrete experiences such as that of Professor Mockbee in Alabama here at La Sapienza?
