DSC_2355 Painterly Fields/Built Forms
Architectural projects and artistic researchers have explored the potential of isotropic spaces, by definition: territories where the conditions are equally distributed. Hierarchy is abandoned, the distinction between figure and ground disappears and the available land is evenly covered, being it a piece of paper or a territorial plot. In some projects the idea of field is a metaphor, the ever-expanding territory of capital materialized by infinite urban development, in other it is merely a condition, a potential to be explored.
Stan Allen, Diagrams of Field Conditions. 1996.
Few boundaries are impenetrable They are rather, semi-permeable membranes providing housing while allowing selective commerce In a world of materials, nothing is ever finished : everything may be something, but being something is always on the way to becoming something else.
