Hypersurface Architecture

Architecture is approaching an unprecedented juncture as the complexities of contemporary culture become increasing saturated with digital technology. Hypersurface is a new architectural concept that promotes broader interfaces and interactivity between cyberspace and the build environment. Hypersurface theory promotes increased accessibility to the Internet, initiates new ideas regarding architectural ornament and instigates new explorations of architectural surfaces and materials...<a name="more"></a><br>

The current condition calls for critical interpretations of space-time/subjectivity. Here, I offer an argument with a hypersurface geometry. A hypersurface is a new theory of liquid-embodied architecture to displace the nostalgia and re-realization being carried into the spatial conceptions of new-media technology. We shouldn't think cyberspace with conventional assumptions. Hypersurface delimits reductions assumed in biases prevalent in disciplinary categorisations. Epistemological thought hasn't produced what it promised prior to its entry into cyberspace; there are only further degradations to come. It is not a matter of deciding to go into cyberspace. We are always already in it, before the literal condition. An understanding before dichotomous assumptions is a way to inhabit the world. This is not an argument for the creation of art in cyberspace, rather, it is a matter of rescuing art from its superfluous role in relation to architecture. Hypersurface comes after deconstruction, but continues the critique of Cartesian assumptions embracing anti-humanist/anti-logocentric discourses after May '68. Further, it is the receipt and re-deployment of the architectural telegrams sent in the 60's by the group Archigram. (Their dream was of a city that built itself unpredictably). <br>
