My work is more about your seeing than it is about my seeing, although it is a product of my seeing. I’m also interested in the sense of presence of space; that is space where you feel a presence, almost an entity — that physical feeling and power that space can give.

The “real architecture” only exists in the drawings. The “real building” exists outside the drawings. The difference here is that “architecture” and “building” are not the same.

The computer is almost exactly what man is not. It is capable of paying undivided attention to unlimited detail; it is immune to distraction, precise and reliable; it can carry out the most intricate and lengthy calculation with ease, without a flaw and in much less than a millionth of the time that would be required by its human counterpart. It is emotionless, or so we suppose. It suffers neither boredom nor fatigue. It needs to be told only once; thereafter it remembers perfectly until it is told to forget, whereupon it forgets instantly and absolutely.

The theory of architectural autopoiesis closely ‘observes’ (and intends to intervene within) a distinct subset of these societal communications, namely the subset of architectural communications, and — assuming that they form a system — is trying to capture this system’s constitutive conceptual structures (concepts), its regular communication patterns (methods), its criteria of evolution (values), as well as its evolutionary trajectory with respect to those three dimensions.

The phenomenon of architecture can be most adequately grasped if it is analyzed as an autonomous network (autopoietic system) of communications.

An Introduction on Rudolf Olgiati’s Vocabulary

Swiss architect Rudolf Olgiati (1910-1995) constructed most of his buildings in the region of Grisons in Switzerland. Most of his works were family houses, apartment houses and restoration of farmhouses. Throughout his career, the architect developed a personal language that successfully com…

The New Yorker uses a strange kind of DRM on their archives — they layer PNG files over JPGs, so if you right click and save as, you just get this weird ghosted PNG (see above, left) But if you’re savvy, you can grab the JPG beneath, and when you layer them in Photoshop, you sort of have to bump them around to get them lined up right, and that gave me the idea of making really simple animated GIFs using just the PNG layer over the JPG background. Sort of cool. (These are from William Steig’s feature “A la recherche du temps perdu” in the September 26, 1959 issue.)

It’s funny how stuff like this makes one want to fiddle with IP MORE than if you just put the whole images up…
