Animals, vegetables, minerals and pixels partake of the world of architecture. The architect’s imaginary includes the simplest found substances—copper, aluminum, wood, water, air, light, bytes[1] , plastics, concrete, dirt and clay. Inspired by their physical, chemical, digital and biological possibilities, design could be understood as the aesthetic organization of animate matter into form and composition. [Celant, Arte Povera] The initial act of design is a comprehension and exhibition of a given substance’s behavior, from growth to decay, from chemical reaction to movement, deflection and failure.
