Beyond Architecture
an indeterminate world... not of fixed extent or character, vague, left doubtful
Modernism is a contradictory idea
The reading is about the Archigram magazine or newsletter, containing different issues.
is a composition ever complete? Mies and Mondrian
Llewellyn Davies and Weeks - Hospital project
Brought in-determination into architectural discourse
Archigram was looking for the newest coolest designs in not only architectural but all art forms
Indeterminate structures (1940's), for artistic events. Experiments in arts and technology (EAT)
Imperative to create open ends. Desire for continuous change
Heisenberg s, 1927, Uncertainty principle (indeterminacy principle)
1966 - Buildings with no capacity to change can only become slums or ancient monuments
Modernists were forced to consider 'how communities might actually function rather than how they should function'
Architects seek out existing structures and allow structures to develop in positive directions instead of deductions
life is negotiated not pre-programmed
there were no limits
From the mega structure to the kit-of-parts
Archigram with allies pieced together an architecture of in-determinism from other pieces of modern architecture to compete more with the international style
Became about flow - but then seemed deterministic
mid 60's Archigrams attention shifted from slumbering mega structures to the kit of parts 'clip on' and 'plug in'
didn't just talk about architecture
the tuned suburb - not standardized - a whole mixture of types, totally different to how it actually turned out
