What might a contemporary theory of architectural decoration be?
PATTERN
Frequently under-theorised, pattern is a surprisingly mobile intellectual concept, whether used by sociologists, anthropologists and urbanists to grasp complex cultural forms, or by mathematicians, physicists and cyberneticians to analyse configurations of matter, energy and information, or by cognitive theorists and psychologists to reveal the organisation of the human mind.

How does the individual body ‘interface’ with architectural space and form?
MORPHOLOGY AND SPATIAL INTERFACE
Morphology is the study of both the relationship between form and matter, and affectivity of formed matter upon humans. When morphology organises human bodies socially, it can be said to have archetypal effects. However, formed matter also can have other, more communicative, personal, emotional and kinaesthetic effects. Just as when driving a [...]
How can media, technology and iconography be incorporated into spatial environments?
Coming Soon.
How does physical spatial form (archetypal morphology) affect social occupation?
Archetypal Space
By Archetypal Space we understand the core of the architectural discipline: steps and platforms that one can sit on or lie down on, basic changes in level, frames and physical enclosure. These are the basic, fundamental components of all of our work, whether designing landscapes, homes, or thinking about haptic digital interfaces. Archetypal space [...]
