Vicious Architectural Circles: Aesthetics, Affect and the Disposition of Emergence
Theories of emergence are intrinsically concerned with how things are generated or created. Such a theoretical model would seem clearly relevant to creative design practices and questions of aesthetics, but the discourse on emergence has been predominantly held within frameworks belonging to modern science. Implicit, historical connections between emergence and both architectural composition and aesthetics become indicators of other potential, with Greg Lynn as a key historical reference point regarding how architectural composition might offer important insight into the aesthetics of emergence. This article argues, drawing on Manuel DeLanda's keynote essay, that the potential of these connections has been hidden behind the mystical glow surrounding missing causal explanations. By connecting emergence and aesthetics through the concept of affect, they can become productive, mutually transformative allies.
