Believing that it is always best to study some special group, I have, after deliberation, taken up domestic pigeons.
Darwin (1809–1882)
test1 To dwell is to extend: to inhabit a desire or memory, project it in space, and inscribe it in a landscape. The seminal writing on dwelling, Heidegger’s “Building, Dwelling, Thinking,” explores dwelling as an extension of a person’s very being, either through building edifices or through cultivation of the land. Although the noun, dwelling, has become linked with a structural building, the verb is intertwined with people’s habit of extending their own mortality by establishing, cultivating, and preserving a landscape or place. In short, to dwell, the verb, is about extending a personal experience not only through space, but also in time and memory.

Motifs
These particular architectural motifs are incorporated into the design of many homes, government and institutional buildings, and cultural centers; they function as privacy screens, load-bearing façades, ventilation devices, security barriers, and staircase guardrails. One of the reasons these designs spread so ubiquitously may have been the U.S. State Department policy during the 1950′s and 1960′s, which suggested that “American embassies visibly reflect the cultural climate of their particular setting,” with the result that, “the clean efficiency of modern American buildings was fused with traditional motifs in such disparate sites as Athens and Karachi”. This hybridization eventually returned to America and spread throughout many different regions of the world. Although these motifs have become common design currency, in certain countries they remain physical markers of a past filled with ideology, naiveté, economic progress and oppression, modernization, and political change.
