My phd study is progressing towards an understandable subject
IT was : green architecture
But
Green is a vague and multi used coloured word
Architecture is a vague term ( iT used to be clear in former times, now iT is an old fashioned word, not suitable for academic historic research)
What About Green Space then? Well. Did you ever see a green space? For me iT is like mentioning Green Men, you know, aliens. Nobody has ever seen them, but Some people seriously think aliens must be somewhere out there. It is the same with Green Space.
So, exit Green Architecture. Exit Green Space.
My question is: All this fuss About green, is there not green enough already? How come politicians, professionals and THE public have conflicts About green? I mean, About THE grasses, mosses, plants, bushes and trees?
THE subject I want to do historical research on, I think now, iT could becdigpfferentvtomorrow, because I am in an emotional proces now, is THE grasses, mosses, plants, bushes and trees.
Where? In European cities.
Historical depth, period of time? 1810-2010.
How come? There must be trees, somewhere in a city, older than 160 years, from before 1850. 1850 is THE timespot generally advised by historians, because of the to be find sources. Of course they looked for THE sources in archives. THE citystreets are part of my archives. The grasses, mosses, plants, bushes and trees will be One of my sources.
Secondly, 1810, 1910 and 2010 as a sequel are easier to remember. I want you to read my future historical writings, and I do not want to cause any more trouble than necessary. It seems that I am trouble for enough people already.
I do have a third argument as well, Anna Karenina, THE creation of Tolstoi. I think there is a relation between an interpretation by Theun de Vries of Tolstoi's Anna Karenina, 1968 and Our common future by WCED, 1987 and THE loss of moral authority by men in general and men who rule, design and use the cities, 2010.
THE titel of my Ph.d , academically, is :
Grasses, mosses, plants, bushes, trees and moral authority in European cities, 1810-2010
And I will sell my Ph.D writings with THE catchy title : Green and European cities, 1810-2010.
Since I am aware I am THE only One, in THE field of history, I can choose any city I like, since I want to find proof in cities. Of course I will start with THE City, commonly known as London. Peter Clark, British historian, studied London before me, published, edited, THE European City and Green Space, 2006, elaboreting on the term / concept Green Space. A term also used in 1989 in THE report Our common future, edited by THE WCED, New York. In this report THE term Urban Green Space has been written down. This term has obviously a political colour. So, I am definitely not going to copy this term. Too abstract. Too much an idea. After Koos, Peter will be the first to know. I am looking forward to THE discussion.
After London, Paris and Berlin are going to be my cases. THE three best known cities in Europe, since the 19 th century.
