I HAVE been pondering, looking for culprits with a license to kill, regarding the destruction of nature, habitats, flora/fauna, murderers of the environment, not different in results as any ethnic cleansing, flora/fauna, in Puerto Rico and or country with sand/sun tourism, beaches with palms/no palms.
I walk around Santurce frequently, over two miles often, in any direction, that by the way is getting dull, considering the destruction with ugly concrete modern structures, matchboxes in a vertical or horizontal architect state of mind.
One wonders what do they go to get a degree for, why do they constantly appear in the local paper shoppers receiving a prize for
a school. church or whatever in Haiti, with a highball, martini, wine,, or champagne in hand as if they had done anything worthy, after all their killer designs, as if they were enhancing humankind or improving, at least not killing our world flora and fauna.
Too many people, particularly those with environmental flu, preach and repeat mantra like the destruction with Monsanto/Dupont corn/soy seeds, oil, mining, fishing like there is no tomorrow, and/or you name it, forgetting the immediate environment, the concrete/asphalt close, at reach where they have lived all their lives...as if they lived in a vacuum.
The really amazing, hard to comprehend panoramic view is that architects with radio talk shows talk about text book utopian cities, buildings, planning boards that exist only in their feeble minds, in a Puerto Rico where nothing has ever been planned in any aspect of our economy or infrastructures. They talk/write about the use of space and light, while designing matchboxes left and right out of PROPORTION, each one of them. They remind yours truly of those biblical Pharisees, white in the outside, rotten within.
The worst kind of architect is the landscape architect. Everything they design/install consist of hedges/palms/Ficus/turf, pillars of the imagination. He/she do not plant anything, have no notion or COMPOSITION, ground covers, growth habit, irrigation, diseases, maintenance in the long/short run, I better stop. In brief the retard architects who have prevailed during the last sixty years have been aiding and abetting:
bankers, lawyers, mortgage originators, speculators, and their favorite scapegoats...engineers, in turn doing the dirty work for housing/highway developers.
