A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This paper seeks to unfold the spatial and generative potentials of weakness in the development of architecture and theory, and as a creative driver in artistic- and architectural research. Weakness is a term which usually comes with negative connotations. The paradox and ambiguity of this term is intriguing. Unfolding the subject, weakness conducts vital tasks – and in some cases even is what makes a system ‘strong’ and resilient. The paper discuss weakness from theoretical perspectives and through specific identified examples of systems with an embedded weakness. Weakness will be unfolded through these on-going investigations (‘Demonstrations’) and a vocabulary of operational terms (index-cards). The concept of weakness proposes dynamic relationships and emerging capacities and - through fragmentation and assemblage - composing realities without reducing to one synthesis. Ultimately with an aim to provide more stratified conceptions of architecture.
