A Desire to Invent New Mediums (A Hatred of Boredom)

This paper posits that what unites us is also what divides us. To continue to invent, develop, and exemplify novel, innovative, and nuanced strategies for producing Form, Space, and Order is an ambition all experimentally minded architects share. Its what enables a narrative of continuous evolution within the discipline of architecture. But the continual reworking of new conceptual support structures for contemporary architecture that do not correspond to the dominant mediums established by previous generations and broader cultural contexts ensures the ruptures between generations of architects that this paper session seeks to mend. This paper tracks the emergence of new conceptual support structures in contemporary architecture and makes a case for continual transformation and divide as the condition that “affiliates individual projects with a possible whole.”
