On the Place of Architectural Speculation
This paper considers the nature of the speculative architectural project, its distinction from building, and its relationship to a particular aspect of mimetic inquiry. Moreover, this paper considers the impact that the rise of technique has had on the mimetic and suggests a conceptual model that may contribute to ameliorating this impact while enhancing the mimetic capacity of a speculative architectural project. Architectural speculation is considered through the relationship of “making” and “place,” evidenced in the somewhat unlikely conjunction of Gothic Scholasticism, surrealist theater, and the cinquecento conceptual model of disegno. This paper intends to explicate their interrelationship through reconstructing a program that invites participation in the collective mimesis of the speculative architectural project.
