Gonna take a sentimental journey to... RETRO FUTURISM

I don't think humanity needs to appreciate "retro-futurism" and nor do fashion on top of that (please don't brah).

 But bro, when I was 14, I stopped everything I was doing in my life to consume as much information about "retro futurism". 

I remember very well spending days researching this guy, Artur Skizhali

I also researched about "ideal city" and found that it was a thought that existed because of a thought of Aristotle:


"Ideal cities was a term based on the thought expressed by Aristotle in the Politics. From the text of the philosopher and based on archaeological traces of 4 cities of the ancient world

(Miletus, Agrigento, Olynthus, Metapontum), 

ideal cities were created, built in compliance with the characteristics of the site and considering the most suitable political shape for them, trying to mimic Aristotle’s thought. 

For the philosopher, the ideal form of the city is inseparable from its political form, both in force and form; albeit the geographical characteristics of the site must be functionally different. 

Physical contexts of the four cities have been the starting point for the identification of the political form and, consequently, of the urban shape; this is designed by assembling architectural types of the Greek world." 


(my last post was negatively punctuating "Futurism" because I'm not a fan..  (hippocrates huh) my passion grew with me until today, I am just remembering this and decided to write about.


The Ideal City - by Artur Skizhali;

The Street Channel of the Ideal City by Arthur Skizhali-Weiss

I remember constantly creating stories about this place Skizhali paints. 

What makes me have the most vivid imagination of being situated in the city or simply walking through the streets is the ambience of the song "Errare humununs est" by Jorge Ben. 

The city makes me feel, giant. (sounds nice) 

I think it's the point of view in the image that makes me feel that way. 

"The Ideal Man an Woman" - "Cameron" Poem;

"It was without north the sentimental journey through the city. 

All men in a certainly perfect conjecture, analyzing all existing 

possivies faculties: 

art, literature, painting, architecture, science...

Every man lived in a full and noble desire to improve himself 

until the world conjures up its own strength 

toward humanity, family... community. 

It is all about progress and 

the fictitious meaning of humanity. 

What a stupid, lovely thing"
