Relational Logics – T2

Architecture is not so changeable, but the weather and people are, so architects have to find a platform that could accommodate the changes, Sou Fujiomoto pointed that out. His approach is always about how to make a relation between inside and outside environment as one of the realisations of his idealism. House N is not only about space nor form, but also about expressing the richness of what are `between` the house and the street. There are 2 types of gradation that he wanted to achieved through the design; boxes gradation (as the application of space concept which incorporate the inside and the outside) and openings/windows gradation (as the application to help the concept reaches its sense). It gives the experience that even when you are inside you still feeling outside, and when you are outside you actually have the transcendence access to still feel being inside. Somehow this experience is giving a sense to our understanding on Sean Lally’s The Shape of Energy which introduces of a new possibility that could advance our architectural approach through intangible matter.

Relational Logics in Advanced Architecture
Arcosanti post card, 1978, Arizona
Architecture is one of the disciplines that most requires to focus attention towards the relationships that exist between objects and contexts. While in art the actors analyze the context (if it exists) as basis of a process finalized to the creation of an object, often conceived as a representation, science, in the opposite way, puts too much emphasis on the relationships between objects and it is almost completely unaware of consequences in human lives.

It has been always a kind of challenge in the history of humanity that what is the exact meaning of “creativity”? As William Plomer (1903-1973) said, “Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.”
It seems that, the meaning of connecting the dots, is more vital in the current age, than it used to be in the past. I personally believe that, this increase in the importance of the meaning is because of computer-born technologies, and its tremendous effect on the whole fields of art and sciense. Also, the term “connection” is not only referred to “creativity”, but also to the “development” of any field, as well as architecture.
