To me Postcards and Blogs share something in
common. Both contain basically private information
but can be read by people who have nothing to do
with the writers. There is nothing wrong with reading
a postcard that is not addressed to you or checking
out a blog that is all about the personal life of an
unknown person. A typical way of protecting privacy
is using information that will be understood only by
the people whom the message is addressed to.
Another defensive approach is to be laconic, rather inexpressive. This last strategy is typically seen in
postcards.
This blog is intended to play in a sense with these
issues of privacy. For this reason my approach is
purely literary (another way of protection). Here I
mix together real and fictional stories. Some people
who "receive" a postcard from me are real people,
others unrelated or almost unknown to me. Of
course I, as an architect, "send" only architectural postcards. Some of them were already postally
used and therefore now they are being rewritten by
me. In short, I am just making up postcards.
