Construction Deconstructed; A Relative Reading of Architectural Technology
In construction the architectural object, which is constituted by the arrangement of an endless number of parts and systems, is very likely to be confronted with a kind of disorder, i.e., the linking together of elements of construction that are incongruous & inappropriate. To put things together, or to construct, implies systematic arrangement in accordance with identifiable forms of order. Disorder is identified where the logic of our classifying thinking does not find correspondence with the “order of things” as they are typically envisioned. What seems but a visual disorder could very well be “another” kind of order. This peculiar organization in which fragments of a number of possible coherences share a state of existence without unifying common law is what is to be called the ordering sensibility of heterotopic formations. This paper addresses this ordering sensibility by examining the quality of inter-connectedness among constructional elements.
