Art college professor suggests makeover for brutalist Boston City Hall
...you said, "...there is also a component of human preference that is innate and inherited. That's what defines human nature." So what exactly is this "component of human preference that is innate and inherited" and how exactly does it "define human nature"? And what exactly is the proof of its innateness, its inherited-ness, and its defining-ness?

...your example of eating grapefruit or eating sand is simply inane. It's no different than saying humans prefer to eat edibles rather than inedibles, or saying humans prefer listening to something audible rather than something inaudible.
If you really want to understand human nature look at human physiology where there are several dominant operations: fertility, assimilation, metabolism, electromagnetism, osmosis and omni-frequency. These operations are indeed innate both physically and mentally. Also look at human morphology which literally manifests the design and structure of human nature. To really understand human nature just look at the morphology and physiology of the human body itself.
Art college professor suggests makeover for brutalist Boston City Hall
The fact that humans (especially prior to Western hegemony) inhabited virtually every different type of environment that is available on this planet shows me that there really is no innate preference for one environment over another. As such, the very notion of 'preference' is a cultural distinction, and not an innate characteristic of human nature.
All you're really doing is trying to justify your preference for a very limited segment of Western culture as some sort of universal innate human trait.

selfportraits + architects?
Stephen Lauf, Self Portrait (3 panels: pencil and ink on museum board, 60" x 40" each panel, 1983-84).
I wanted to create something that would manifest endurance and determination, so I lightly scored three large museum boards with pencil lines spaced 3/16" apart which resulted with 317 40" long demarcated spaces running down the length of each board. From here the mission was to simply fill each line of space from edge to edge with hand-written text using a Pelican Graphos pen with nib A.1. I had to lay on the board(s) on the floor of my living room in order to write, and the text records whatever came into my mind at the exact time that I was working/writing on the project. It did not take long for this 'self portrait' to also often act as a confessional.
Self Portrait (1983-84) began 14 August 1983 with approximately 80 lines filled within 6 weeks. The project then lay dormant until 15 July 1984, and the first board was completely filled by 30 July 1984. The second board was completely filled by 29 August 1984, and the third board was completely filled by 6 September, 1984.

Duchamp to direct THE LUCKY BUMS
As reported on Duchamp's birthday:
The project fits into a growing subgenre of historical re-enactment as performance art. It has yet to be fully recognized how much Duchamp utilized reenactment within his own art.

1952. Wednesday, New York City
Duncan Phillips has told Duchamp which seventeen works of art, including Duchamp's small glass A regarder d'un Œil, de près, pendant presque une Heure [4.4.1919], he proposes to accept from Miss Dreier's estate for the Phillips Gallery [22.5.1952]. As he cannot accept the whole list, Phillips suggests that the remaining 12 items be presented to the Watkins Gallery of the American University in Washington.
In reply, Duchamp tells Phillips that he will recommend the proposals to his co-executors and mentions that as "Yale University has expressed the desire to have an exhibition in memory of Miss Dreier", they hope any works which the Phillips Gallery receives will "be available for such memorial".

Miss Dreier gives Duchamp a cheque for the sum of $109.34, reimbursing him for three invoices, those submitted by Carl Rasmussen, the Danbury Glass Company and Charles F. Biele & Sons Company, which Duchamp has paid out of his own pocket.
