Contemporary Discourses in Architecture
George Katodrytis made a presentation at the “Contemporary Discourses in Architecture” conference by the Department of Architecture and Design at the Lebanese American University May 13-15, 2004 in Beirut.
Digital Intro-jection
“We are now entering into a completely artificial space. However, this new terrain may prove, paradoxically, in the final analysis, to be the most internal and intrinsic to nature itself. The traditional limit of architecture has not only been transgressed, but also “trans-placed”. Our understanding of space will be changed; a new matrix, a new formal syntax, will be adopted to describe it.
As an abstract machine, the new architecture points to both to “data-space” environments and “tectonic-space” compositions. In a fabricated landscape where form follows simulation, the modeling machine becomes an instrument of intro-jection and reflection, concurrently placing itself inside and outside in a world of speed and endless variations. This land(e)scape is at once neurotic and solitary, here and there, recto and verso.”
