Meta-tectonics - About the Extension of the Metaphor of Skin(s) in Architecture

摘要

The proposed investigation seeks to elaborate on the notion that the metaphor of skin(s), as assumed by contemporary digital design, have produced a conjuncture where the historical, the technical and discursive logics ordering modern tectonics, has been transcended, a condition that I will refer to as metatectonics. In addition to historiographic analysis of such condition, the project seeks to define a conceptual design project that will serve as case study to strategize the theory of meta-tectonics.
