The Production of Space (1974, translated in 1991) —

in ¿Águila o Sol? (1951).)

A quotation from Lefebvre:
"… an epoch-making event so generally ignored
that we have to be reminded of it at every moment.
The fact is that around 1910 a certain space was shattered…
the space… of classical perspective and geometry…."— Page 25 of The Production of Space
(Blackwell Publishing, 1991)
This suggests, for those who prefer Harvard's past glories
to its current state, a different Raum from the Zeit 1910.
In January 1910 Annals of Mathematics , then edited at Harvard,
published George M. Conwell's "The 3-space PG (3, 2) and Its Group."
This paper, while perhaps neither epoch-making nor shattering, has
a certain beauty. For some background, see this journal on February 24, 2009.
"… who shared the Nobel Prize …
for discovering a startling breakdown …."

A current competition at Harvard Graduate School of Design, "The Space of Representation," has a deadline of 8 PM tonight, February 27, 2009.
The announcement of the competition quotes the Marxist Henri Lefebvre on "the social production of space."

Call for Entries: The Space of Representation
DEADLINE FEBRUARY 27, 2009 8PM EST
"According to Henri Lefebvre, the social production of space has three components: spatial practice, the representation of space, and the space of representation. The latter two are integral to both design and the review process."
This is clearly nonsense.
It is also, like much else at Harvard,
damned Marxist nonsense.
