SOLID STATE ARCHITECTURE From the works or Reiser + Umemoto
Informational technologies + virtual space Architecture + Buildings Material reality Deeply informative interpenetration of the virtual within the material. Virtual material
MEDIA BASED ARCHITECT ELECTRONIC REALM PRACTICE BUILDING BASE PRACTICE Overlooked a paradox incorporating one on the other
Two forms of projectsdepending media 1 RADICAL APPROACH The architecture is out of the material realm, just as set of protocols. Out of material constrains Full of a new freedom MEDIA AS PART OF IT Jean Nouvel’sBibliotequeNationale Articulating media to it, loss of power. Migration of power to the electronic realm. Recognizes the building Power affects the ways we look at architecture
Gilles Deleuze Nietzsche Focault “PUISSANCE” “POUVOIR” Active power “powers that be” Reactive power Power to act Potential Opens possibilities and capacities
ANY WORKS OF ARCHITECTURE MAY BE DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF: meaning form performance the effect SIGNIFICATION is a by-product / inevitable + changeable.
Reiser proposes a third approach The building and it’s internal economy & activity Change becomes an expression of the material organization.
Idea of material + computation inextricable linked Deleuze “Mediators” – Philosophy-Art-Science Reiser “Solid State” Sanford Kwinter – “Wet Computation” “Solid State” Media as a material substance 2) Media as a virtual or informing potential Rather folded together as part of the diagram These are not separated notions
Architects Diagraming • Fixed norms of classic geometry • Typology • Reduced programmatic • Function (bubble diagrams) Dynamic: Waves Fields Fronts If we shift out of these “static” models From grids to lattices Not representation but quantitative effects
Weather flow Potential to engage flows in living and non living systems Not a metaphor but the capacity to produce architectural effects.
What do you think? • Is architecture defined by diagrams or are this diagrams means of communication or rather part of the design process? • How do you see the future of the media based architectural design?
