undigested thoughts. irresponsible of me, isn’t it?

• Modernity in The Digital Age October 29, 2011
  This is just a really wild speculative rant. It’s more science-fiction than anything else, though it does describe a trend which, if it will mature, will kill modernity.  “The Digital” can be said to provide a common medium in which we now encode (through different theoretical constructs) - or try to - all facets of reality relevant to our existence. This co […]
• Why Schumacher is Wrong October 17, 2011
  Patrick Schumacher promotes parametricism as a global style and proposes a theory of architectural autopoiesis as a supporting framework which, while ensuring the discipline’s independence, isolates it from its parameters.  […]
• "We long for simplicity and satisfaction. Simplexity therefore stands for a balance between the..." October 8, 2011
  ““We long for simplicity and satisfaction. Simplexity therefore stands for a balance between the growing complexity of daily life and our own personal satisfaction. In order to attain this state, we have to stop always striving to make optimal decisions. In the future, it will be more important to make judgments that are just good enough.”” - Petter Wipperma […]
• Optimization Overdose October 6, 2011
  Optimization and optimizing are now central features in any architectural discourse, alongside performance. The concept of optimization is associated with the continuous betterment of a certain design by finding the optimal values for the parameters describing it. Nevertheless, there are certain aspects which require critical reflection.  Optimizing a system […]
• Extended Abstract. September 28, 2011
  Digital techniques have had – and continue to have – a huge impact on architecture, both as a design process and as artifact[1]. Over the last few years this fact has been registered by a wider audience than that of the initial early adopters (which can be actually referred as the avant-garde) mostly because of the radicalism and novelty of the theoretical d […]
• Science, Society, Metaphors and Architecture August 27, 2011
  Looking back, I could now argue that authored architecture’s conscious relationship with nature has always been mainly on a superficial metaphorical level, and therefore the voronoi diagram fits right in as a continuation of previous endeavors – not that i agree that this relationship is still useful now (ie the current eco-fuck context), it’s just the way i […]
• abstract machines and architecture July 25, 2011
  The speculation that the diagram becomes reality and that reality becomes a diagram, while valid from a philosophical standpoint, is limited in practice – and certainly in architecture – by the precision of our measurements and our bounded predictive capabilities.  In short, computational architecture is far from being able to devise a Deleuzian abstract mac […]
• PE July 15, 2011
  One can argue that computational techniques enable architecture to mediate in a more direct manner the scientific aspects (Nature). Nevertheless, this comes at a cost to overall legibility/usefulness since these technologies have yet to be fully culturally linked.  On the other hand, one can argue that computational techniques help in improving the legibilit […]
• Thesis (1) July 15, 2011
  Computational architecture is greatly expanding the “hybridization” possibilities of architecture (you can argue that this is a return to the so called gothic merger) yet it fails to acknowledge the fact that architecture (as a process) is a linkage, a hybrid in itself.  In essence, parametric techniques are, even through the design interface, explicitly exp […]
• trying to define architecture (as a process and as a product) July 15, 2011
  These definitions rely on Bruno Latour’s We have never been modern. [Architecture] It is a mediator, a quasi-object, a product of the networks (as a finite object).  An architectural object is the result of an ever adapting process which mediates and expresses our construction of nature and society.  Architecture is a mediation process between Nature and Soc […]
