Comment on Save the Rietveld Academy! by Danny

Just a short reaction regarding Michelle’s point – I honestly don’t see why the notions of ‘embedded meaning’ and ‘inherent meaning’ are mutually exclusive, especially when we are talking about the architect who created the building. But maybe that’s just a matter of definition. In my understanding, an inherent quality is a quality that’s inseparable from the object. And I do believe that attributes (whether material or immaterial), embedded by the designer into an object, automatically become inseparable elements of that object.
But then again, I might see it all the wrong way. After all, Michelle seems pretty sure of herself, entering a battlefield one year after the battle has been fought, retrospectively accusing people of loopholes and slippery-slidy logic, and deciding for us that we can’t “have it both ways”. All I can say is, the struggle over the Rietveld building was a very intense conflict, which kept the action committee fully occupied for a several months – a period in which decisions had to be made really fast, pamphlets had to be written, translated, and photocopied even faster, meetings and performances had to be improvised, and very real ugly fights had to be fought. We had to deal with a very strong opponent, and a very cynical press. In retrospect, it’s always easy to criticize these ad hoc actions, and to point out the loopholes and the mistakes. But personally, I’d rather breathe through the loopholes than be choked by the critics and their hindsight views.
