Information, Object, Category Growth out of Combination, Evolution, and
Permutation of Information.
What I am proposing
is a question of whether or not one can isolate deployment in order to
re-mix architectural categories in a general and systematic way. The way
in which the first model of cryptography produces fields of legible objects
that remain unformed by conventional grammar suggests that isolating the
deployment of parts from other aspects of design promotes a freedom of
architectural information to form into buildings or not. Or, if a building
is formed then multiplicity might be upheld by allowing mixture, entropy,
openness, and evolutionary logic to exist alongside the resolution and
certainty that is expected of architecture. Perhaps we could think of
these kinds of operations not so much as strange objects but as strange
organizations that are on their way toward forming objects. It is worth
noting that the same pool of organizational information could speciate
into various architectural proposals depending on the environment to which
it is grafted, the material that will actualize it, or the purposefulness
toward which it may or may not be arc-ing.
