Protest:
i found that the auditorium here in Stuttgart was taken by the students - a protest.....same with the demonstration in this Moscow street. Whereas in Buenos Aires (my earlier post) the space was defined by protest.

I was just in Buenos Aires, what most impressed me was the lobby of the School of Architecture, UBA.
The professor that invited us said that by the time the students get their degrees they are tigers. The place is so full of passion that they become tigers after some years here.
For me it was impressive the way that the students express their political interests through protest. In Mexico we are a very 'passive' society and my anger mostly is that people do not react to anything or that there is no long term memory in general. Here they even have pictures of the 'disappeared' people from when the military took power.
Here is how this place looks today.
