As a final task, we presented our individual works on the chosen architectural theory. Some of the approaches were analyzed and re-formulated in hipotetical scenarios, like Adolf Loos on Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Bernard Tschmumi on FourSquare or Daniel Libeskind on The Matrix.

At the same time, there was some emphasis on analyzing the role of technology for this architectural theories, as well as the different interest towards technology therein, as we can see in J. Christensen’s presentation on Reiser & Umemoto, or in H. Takenaga’s presentation on Metabolism.

During this week we have kept the readings and discussions about our chosen architects, we have come into a point in wich we have to start building the line of argumentation of our research. For most of the students, the goal is to have a elocuent short video of our investigation. This final excercise for this module will be presented at the end of the week.

Also, we had one ‘input’ lecture for our analysis from Andrei Rodin on Objects Without Structure, a philosophical introduction to mathematical category and topos theory.
