Reconsidering Ethics In The Tectonics Of Architecture Through The Tectonics Of Bodies In Love

摘要

The concept of tectonics has always been dependent on the dualitybetween technology and representation. Botticher (1852) acknowledgedthe tectonic duality between structure and cladding. Semper (1951),conversely, highlighted the role of the joint in tectonics within itsfour elements of earthwork, hearth, framework–roof and enclosingmembrane. His approach promoted the essence of the presence of modernprofessions, materials and systems. Sekler (1965) distinguished structureand construction from tectonics, whereas Vallhonrat (1988) claimedthat the requirement of tectonics has made an impact on structures andconstruction. Moreover, while Frampton (1990, 2001) saw tectonics as thepoetics of construction, Oxman posited, in 2012, that contemporary digitalarchitecture transformed tectonics into informed tectonics, thus suggestinga new materiality. Accordingly, information is perceived as a type ofmaterial (Cache, 2002). The intent of this article is to discuss the ways inwhich the relationship between technology and representation can exist incontemporary tectonics, including informed tectonics
