- This is the fourth collaboration between Shelley and Schweder in a series they call “The Social Relationship Architecture Project.” Each time they’ve built a different dwelling space that requires them to work together in order to live. This time, they’ve arranged the various components and furnishings of a home on a giant wheel. “In Orbit is a two bedroom apartment, in a sense,” Schweder says. “One is on the inside and one on the outside.” - vía Meet The Two Artists Living in a Giant Hamster Wheel - ANIMAL

Architecture may thus evolve from the notion of a static service – traditionally related to the slowness of urban construction and identity transformations – to that of a performance, ie, a dynamic response to the accelerated needs of contemporary society. [L'architettura può così evolvere dalla nozione di servizio statico - tradizionalmente riferito alla lentezza della costruzione urbana e delle trasformazioni dell'identità - a quella della performance, cioè, una risposta dinamica ai bisogni sempre più veloci della società contemporanea.]

Of all conceptual paradigms of architecture, performance is the one that seeks to evaluate the efficiency of its ambitions. Opposed to an architecture for the sake of architecture, it investigates the feed-back loops between architecture and the systems it is embedded in. Isolated questions of form, process, fabrication etc. cease to be a priori conditions of architecture. Performance does not ask how a form looks like, but what it enables. It does not focus on what process was used to make a design, but on what process was able to generate in the design. Thus performance shifts the focus of interest from essence to effect. The question is not what 'something is', but 'what it does'.
