living contingency and design in-determinacy: aedificare necesse est, vivere non necesse
“EVENTUALIZATION” OF ARCHITECTURE
“events of thought”
- For Foucault, an event is not simply a logical sequence of words or actions, but rather “the moment of
erosion, collapse, questioning, or problematization of the very assumptions of the setting within which a
drama may take place -- occasioning the chance or possibility of another, different setting.” The event here
is seen as a turning point -- not an origin or an end -- as opposed to such propositions as “form follows
function.” I would like to propose that the future of architecture lies in the construction of such events.
[…] Jacques Derrida expanded on the definition of event, calling it “the emergence of a disparate
multiplicity.”

"a proposal for constructive disillusion, it is simultaneously an appeal for order and disorder, for the
simple and the complex, for the joint existence of permanent reference and random happening, of the
private and the public, of innovation and tradition, of both the retrospective and prophetic gesture.”

Undefined y over-definition: “The sustained generalized dispersion gave rise to the formation of
recurrent tissue figures in the territory: the isolated terraced houses in the middle of nowhere;
the notorious corner with pubs at the tramway stop; the commercial ribbon development along
national roads; the ribbon fragment along whatever road and so on.” Bruno de Meulder, Old dispersion…

An incredibly dense of nationwide networks of different complementary infrastructure (canals, road,
railways) “created an ‘universal’ accessibility for each spot of the territory […] and consequently an
equal development potential that ultimately led to an ISOTROPIC CONDITION. […] Everywhere – on
the periphery of the capital city or in the remote hamlets – an emerging, permanent type of urbanity was
generated, juxtaposing housing, industry and commerce over the whole territory.”
