  1. HYPERSURFACE THEORY: ARCHITECTURE | CULTURE
    Responses to email questions and clarifications on the theory put forth by the author.
  2. ARCHITECTURE OF CYBERSPACE
    No map exists. Cyberspace is a '...completely disembodied intellectual fabrication...' It is a new frontier- a new chance for pioneers, conestoga wagons and colonialism. We travel through cyberspacelessness with only a faint memory of home.
  3. DECONSTRUCTION AND ARCHITECTURE: A BRIEF CRITIQUE
    " . . . a post-structuralist architectural sensibility would seek a dislocation or displacement of the metaphysic of architecture, an architecture that has freed itself from the 'repressions' inherent in the metaphysic of architecture."
  4. GORDON MATTA-CLARK
    "This dissertation will examine the key works of Gordon Matta-Clark, placing this within the philosophical framework of Deconstruction and Deconstructivism, and also the artistic/architectural framework of the work of Robert Smithson and Frank Gehry."
  5. DECONSTRUCTIVISM: A SIMPLE GUIDE
    Lecture material and notes, providing a brief background, an analysis of the origins of deconstructivism and its relationship to architecture.

  7. Seeing Cyberspace: the Electrical Infrastructure is Architecture
    [ Abstract | Acknowledgements | Dedication ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Through architectural language, one can see the otherwise intangible Cyberspace materialized in the power, media, and technological systems of the Electrical Infrastructure. In so doing, pressing issues such as war, energy inefficiency, global warming, pollution, and economic instability can be structurally related to the seemingly separate experience online the Internet. Identifying this relationship can help to educate and organize citizens who want to address common yet otherwise ignored needs of the representative human public.
  8. http://localhost/public/sslinks/VIRTUAL%20SKIN:%20ARTICULATING%20RACE%20IN%20CYBERSPACE
    Explore what it means to construct identity without the aid of racial and cultural markers like physical appearance, accent, and skin color.

    a cosmology of electromagnetism, from the big bang to the internet.
  11. CREATING A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARCHITECTURE: STRATEGIES TO INTEGRATE RESEARCH INTO THE CURRICULUM
    Argument: Making research a partner in design by bringing it into the design studio is the only way to encourage architects to be researchers to welcome a dialogue with other disciplines. Through this dialogue, architects will learn that architecture is not an autonomous discipline. They will come to realize the inter-connectedness of knowledge and understand that our real-world problems are interdisciplinary and can only be solved by working together.
  12. Magritte the Architecturologist: Regarding
    These canvas-fictions reveal the rich relational communication inherent in materials and forms, which - in its acculturated norm - is no more readable. In the overall view Magritte shows how in our modern spatially homogenous world 'spatial fossiles' are constantly reminding us of another world, a former world in which things were perceived quite differently.

For this reason, METROPOLIS observes the world of design with a broad perspective; its subjects range from the sprawling urban environment to intimate living spaces to small objects of everyday use. In looking for why design has happened a certain way, METROPOLIS explores the contexts-economic, environmental, social, cultural political, technological-that surround the object, building, street, and city. With its unusual size, its innovative graphic presentation, and its provocative voice, METROPOLIS aims to show how rich our world can be when design is truly part of our cultural dialogue.

  142. MODERN AESTHETICS, MODERN TECTONICS
    Modernism may have been born out of the spirit of its time, but the power of its architectural principles is undiminished after almost three-quarters of a century. Two seminal aspects of modernism, the abstract and streamlined formal aesthetic and the philosophical commitment to applied technology, have remained equally seductive but have inspired development into highly contrasting architectural attitudes. The contrast between the formal and philosophical approaches can be measured by using the construction of a wall (looking at materials, mechanical systems, structure and enclosure) as the datum.

  144. CITY OF NEWS
    "we have lost our bearings in the flatland of data offered by our "regular" browser, and experienced information anxiety as a shock caused by the vast unstructured landscape under the infinite horizon of the World Wide Web. As "spacemakers" [Walser, 1990], we have therefore undertaken the task to "escape flatland" [Tufte, 1990], to design an information browser that organizes information as it fetches it, in real-time, in a virtual three-dimensional space which anchors our perceptual flow of data to a cognitive map of a (virtual) place. This place is a city."

  184. OBJECT-ORIENTATED AND PROBLEM-ORIENTATED APPROACHES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH -- RECONSIDERED
    "Referring to various schools of Constructivism, I argue in this paper that archaeological knowledge is socially and cognitively constructed. The yardstick for its evaluation is not, and cannot be a past reality. What we are, and should be, concerned with is not the degree to which knowledge is true but whether it makes sense, is viable and meaningful, and can be useful to us in the present."
  185. CONSTRUCTED MEANINGS- THE RECEPTIONS OF MEGALITHS AFTER THE NEOLITHIC
    "In this paper I am going to apply literary reception theory to the study of archaeological monuments. Megaliths are not merely remnants of the Neolithic but can be interpreted as objects which have been seen and dealt with in various ways after the Neolithic. I will discuss the receptions of megaliths by later prehistoric and Roman people as well as by the early antiquary William Stukeley and the Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich as examples. The study of such differing receptions can prepare archaeologists for a timely debate about how this society should deal with the megaliths."

  197. COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURES
    A hypertext analysis of Architectures for Intelligence.
  198. AUTONOMOUS ARCHITECTURE
    Recent developments in artificial intelligence research indicates that increasingly complex behaviors can be obtained only with an increase in the autonomy of the agent, - that functionality comes at the expense of control. It is argued that goal directed behaviors on the part of the agent imply a degree of self-awareness and that this awareness is given by the sensing capacity of the organism. The availability of a wide range of sensing technologies suggests that the kind of awareness developed by architectural entities may be foreign to human experience.
  199. ARCHITECTURE OF SYMBIOSIS
    This paper examines the relationship between humans and the environments that they create and argues that the nature of these environments is undergoing a fundamental shift, one that suggests that the proper units of analyses are the hybrid conditions rather than individual components that comprise them.
  200. DYNAMO- A DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURAL MEMORY ON-LINE
    This paper describes the current status of DYNAMO, a web-based design assistant for students and professional designers in the field of architecture. The tool can be considered a Case-Based Design (CBD) system in so far that it was inspired by the view of cognition underlying CBD. The paper points out how DYNAMO incorporates this view, and at the same time extrapolates it beyond the individual. In this way, the tool attempts to embrace and profit from several kinds of interaction that are crucial for the development and renewal of design knowledge…
  201. THE IMPACT OF BUILDING CODES AND LEGISLATION UPON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TALL BUILDINGS

  209. MAPPING OUR INNER SPACE INTO THE OUTER WORLD
    Maps are representations that facilitate a spatial understanding of things, concepts, conditions, processes or events in the human world. The representation techniques used can vary from graphic arts and spatial models to poetry, songs and dance. Maps not just reproduce geophysical realities, but can also transmit the shape of sacred space and the realms of fantasy and myth as explored by the inward eye.

    Since the first spark of desire to automate began in the 1800s, we have witnessed a momentous growth of technology, masquerading through the ages as science, mechanics, electronics, computation and communication. It seems now that technology is a fundamental core of our society whether we - as individuals - desire it or not.
  234. THE CATHEDRAL AND THE BAZAAR
    "I anatomize a successful open-source project, fetchmail, that was run as a deliberate test of some surprising theories about software engineering suggested by the history of Linux. I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the ``cathedral'' model of most of the commercial world versus the ``bazaar'' model of the Linux world. I show that these models derive from opposing assumptions about the nature of the software-debugging task. I then make a sustained argument from the Linux experience for the proposition that ``Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow'', suggest productive analogies with other self-correcting systems of selfish agents, and conclude with some exploration of the implications of this insight for the future of software."

  332. METAPHORS, ARCHITECTURES, AND CYBERSPACES- AN INTRODUCTION
    In interacting with our environment, we are enveloped by a desire to make what is abstract into something discrete, what is imagined into something palpable. Whether manifested in our concept of space itself, or in the form of creative work, this urge literally shapes our perception and communication of not only the physical environment, but our experiences and ideas as well. These concepts can all be thought of as types of architecture, or the art of space;…

As "spacemakers" [Walser, 1990], we have therefore undertaken the task to "escape flatland" [Tufte, 1990], to design an information browser that organizes information as it fetches it, in real-time, in a virtual three-dimensional space which anchors our perceptual flow of data to a cognitive map of a (virtual) place. This place is a city."

The tool can be considered a Case-Based Design (CBD) system in so far that it was inspired by the view of cognition underlying CBD. The paper points out how DYNAMO incorporates this view, and at the same time extrapolates it beyond the individual. In this way, the tool attempts to embrace and profit from several kinds of interaction that are crucial for the development and renewal of design knowledge…
