I think that the most interesting thing about this CFP is the evident
quotation of Heidegger's "Building Dwelling Thinking".
The overwhelming and rather offensive Heidegger Philosophical conclusion
about housing in the post war period, 1956, I think, was that Humans had not
investigated enough the nature of inhabiting.
Sorry, Chris and David, one cannot expect from anyone that uses Heidegger
the kind of clarity you demand.
More: I'm not so sure if we should aspire to clarity in detriment of
cultural background, and historical knowledge.
What the CFP is saying is: What are the new questions for an old
philosophical problem: the nature of dwelling.?
Cheers,
