The original meaning of snafu is “a condition of disorder created by an excess of
conflicting Army rules and regulations.” Now that the translation has been lost
in “contemporary usage and the tension is held in the original phrase between
two seemingly incompatible conditions occurring simultaneously: the normal and
the fouled-up.” “If something is normal,
everyday, and ordered then how can it also be disordered and jumbled?”

“Conventions of architecture are the aspects of
the discipline that are taken for granted through daily repetition and habit.
While conventions are meant to aid the practice of architecture, architectural
conventions often insure that tenuous social constructions remain unexamined.” Should there be a reexamination of the
rules in hopes to release the normality, therefore opening exploration?
3.
In the logic section, LTL states, “while the
subject changes, the tactics of investigation remain consistent. Each project
begins with a close inspection of an existing situation, triggering a
speculative “What if…” question that postulates an alternative derived from the
logic of the given object of study.” Are
they saying that nothing is original anymore? The only way to be different is
to argue on a specific part of an idea? Does this just show that everyone has a variation in logic?
4. LTL stated multiple examples about
nonconformity, what ones stood out the most to you? What did they question and
what was the outcome?
5.
Tactics are the modes of creative opportunity
that operate within the gaps and slips of conventional thought and the patterns
of everyday life. In what way(s) do you
think LTL uses tactics in this writing, in its practice, and/or representation
style. Are there specific tactics that you personally use?
