The architect and sculptor Fredrick Kiesler opposed the linear mechanics ofmodernity. As so efficiently defined in Margarette Shutte Lihotsky’s Frankfurt kitchen, hiswork expressed the ‘act of body motion’, in the view that people inhabit buildings in adynamic and vicissitudinous way. Representative of a world essentially understood to bedeterministic and ordered, the Frankfurt Kitchen encapsulated the dweller in a standardised,industrial environment. Opposed to the scientific ordering of task management,Kiesler argued that the linearly devised two-dimensional methodology of architecturaldesign is out of context with the dynamic of living and developed his ideas in theendless house; a form in which its inhabitants could live in a poly-dimensional way.This work focuses on the development of a design process, which may reflect the characterand sinuous properties of an individual’s pattern of living. The study will developa process, investigating the application of self-organising maps as a tool for the definitionof space, towards a result which is emergent. The parameters that define an individual’spattern of living, will be instigated in an array of three-dimensional self-organisingactivity maps, towards the development of form.
