Güell Villa, 1882. Gaudí.

“Even in Gaudi's earlier works we can see how aware he was of the behaviour of different building materials. He was always concerned with the skin of his buildings and especially with the effects of light and shade which gave the building surfaces life. Bricks and terracotta are used in many ways, forming vairous patterns. In his first buildings the influence of the Orient is evident; it is particularly clear in the brick and terracotta treatment of the porter's lodge of the unfinished Güell Villa."

— From "Antoni Gaudí" by James Johnson Sweeney, 1970.

The Belvedere Torso, Apollonious of Athens, 1st century BC

Logistics moves the concept around in the circuits of capital. The world’s only argument against the earth is logistical. It must be done. The earth’s movement must be stopped, or contained, or weakened, or accessed. The earthen must become clear and transparent, responsible and productive, unified in separation. This is not a matter of deploying the concept, strategically or otherwise, but of force, forced compliance, forced communication, forced convertibility, forced translation, forced access. Capital does not argue, though many argue with it. Capital just likes disruption. Capital’s been running from strategy, running toward logistics, running as logistics, running into the arms of the algorithm, its false lover who is true to it.
