    “Derrida makes the distinction between the ‘who’ one loves - their singularity - and the ‘what’ - the specific qualities of the beloved; then, he states that philosophy‘s most basic question - ’What is Being?‘ promotes the same sort of differential reflection: ’Is Being someone or something?‘ Fidelity, he states, is always threatened by this division - between the desire to be faithful to the other’s singularity and the qualities that may not be as one once thought ...”

From the Federal Building in San Francisco to graduate housing for the University of Toronto to the Wayne L. Morse Courthouse in Eugene, Oregon, these are big ideas cast in material form.”

The students who were assigned to be the prisoners were paid $15 a day as an incentive, which is worth about $80 per day in 2008 currency.”
