history? or His Story?
RAK 344 - History and theory of ARCHITECTURE
This subject consists of two portions. The first part is HISTORY of ARCHITECTURE. Hence, what's come to my mind is we are all going to study and learn basically everything about history following every inch of what the book says. Well, my expectation dropped to the level 0.
On the first lecture, Mr. 1 B (Mr. Wan Burhanuddin) asked us a simple question. HOW DID YOU DEFINE HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE?
It makes me wonder for a second. history? architecture? what is that?
If we reflect back during the junior high school where the subject of history was taught.. i still remember how the book define history.
The book says that History is actually from the combination of two words -His Story
indeed it is :
His Story
and if we translate it into bahsa Melayu:
Cerita Dia
so who is this 'dia' or 'his' in this history context? does this means that the book was telling LIES in the first place?
'Dia' creates stories more or less made it all up and transfer the stories into a medium (Book). and it was called History Book. or should we call it His Story Book?
Don't get panic too fast. we still haven't discuss about architecture just yet. a lot more to discover and we are still in the beginning.
The truth is lying right in front of your eyes n yet we still ignore it as we are the follower of virtual pathetic life that breath based on lies.
