Specific incompletness: unleashing the potential

Abstract

The conceptual shift in architecture to fragmentary spatial and formal flows emphasizes the existence of a void based on these internal relations. Architecture is a dynamic process, one that is open to possibility and amplified capacities. The goal is to make the visible invisible and invisible visible, through reflection and the virtual. In the virtual, the openness of form outlines its own shape through code — through the abstraction of natural and generative processes. This means that the unpredictability of design intends to approach to nature itself by pointing out the complex intricacies intertwined within its being, leading to a flexible view of its own material and a flexible concept of material itself. In this sequence, a new natural can be understood as the diversity of an open unpredictable world and as the constant disintegration of materiality in time. Within the limitless creative openness of the digital process, the natural is understood as contingent and turning towards the unexpected, impulsive or accidental. The fragmented nature of virtual relations in its disharmony creates a new (de)coded reality, simultaneously bringing us back to the imaginary that is always in motion, in disharmony and in asymmetry in order to release its creative nature. Change is found within intensified potentials — in all its specificity in relation to everything else, as well as itself.
