The Awesome and Capricious Language of Past, Present and Future Digital Moods
Can cultural progress be held back by linguistic limitations? Architect and educator Marjan Colletti, cofounder of London practice MAM‐arch, examines the nouns, adjectives and adjectival compounds used by the architectural profession during the first and second digital turns. He reflects on how restricted vocabularies can cause initially forward‐looking concepts to descend into the realm of doctrine and ‘‐isms’, and argues that true advancement requires constant evolution of the language employed to describe it.
