The Complex and the Singular
The Complex and the Singular ..excerpt from Sanford Kwinter’s, Architectures of Time To understand the precise mechanics of how a form may be “time- and difference-generated” –or actualized in the jargon of the present argument — consider the example of the domestic ice cube versus the free-form snow crystal. Is time real for the cube […]

In contrast to truly challenging multiple aspects of vertical dwelling, entrants are […]

Eco_Logics | Helene Furjan
In the simplest terms, the radicalization of Matter requires three recognitions; that matter is from the beginning irreducibly sensate and responsive; that at every scale sensate, responsive matter organizes itself hierarchically into discrete, irreproducible configurations with specific emergent behaviors; and that all discrete material configurations any and every moment and any and every scale further […]
Proposal 4.00
As our built environment pushes out further into the terrestrial landscape, with over 70% over the Earth covered in oceans and human population increasing exponentially, populations may soon bulge outward to inhabit aquatic environments. Presently we see global climates changing the oceans natural barrier reefs, where human populations are stepping into infill these tidal zones–not […]
Noosphere 5.0
That the internet lacks organization and structure to the point where it’s disorganization requires search engines to sift through countless numbers of pages to arrive at the sites whose interconnectedness is the most densest matching the search criteria is a problem that can perhaps be achieved spatially. Emergent systems, such as brains, cities, cells and […]
