Summary
Lambert’s concept of building in defiance of a colonial law whose conditions consolidate one ethnic group’s power over another: disobedience as necessity when personal or collective ethics diverge from the law’s content (The Funambulist Pamphlets, Volume 06: Palestine, PDF p.100).
Details
- His Area C project near Salfit is its exemplar: a farmer/Bedouin building whose tents, agricultural platform and underground dwelling are designed to persist as a ruin after discovery (PDF p.92-95).
- Precedents are sorted into legality, unexpected legality and illegality — Teddy Cruz, Santiago Cirugeda and Max Rameau respectively (PDF p.101).
- Disobedience is legitimate only as specific resistance against the specific law it refuses (PDF p.73).
