architecture, architectural & Architecture

Architecture aims to take stock, understand the overlaps, force overlaps and begin to find our insides, outsides, and fringes of our newly defined discipline. Architecture looks not to answer questions but to discover the potentiality of understanding all the tools at hand and the various methods and means of its ideologies.

architecture, architectural & Architecture is a collection.

Each contribution is a set of texts, images, and objects.

Each contribution calling forward a stance.

Each stance represents each participant.

Each participant providing an agitation to the whole.

Each agitation producing only a greater whole.

Each whole revealing a possible new position.

Each position attempting to provoke a conversation.

Each conversation a possible polemic.

Each polemic an opportunity for creative exploration.
