the autism of autopoietic architecture.

The fascination of the interiority of the discipline of architecture and the constant attempt either to demarcate its boundaries or to penetrate them and to push them further, might seem not adequate as a response to the challenges of today. We have had invested spontaneity and self-organisation with enough faith to excuse our blind experimentations and vague attempts to redefine architecture, architects and the bodies that inhabit it. Above the state of affairs there are Events that supervene them. A dark precursor will momentarily 'decide' at the same paradoxical time that the effects of that decision will wash 'him' out. Deleuze and Whitehead speculated about this stange entity with the incorporeal capacity to decide. Both approached philosophy from the process side. The first via the transcendent empiricism and immanent materialism while the second one through a formal axiomatic ontology. Both though were aimed to construct a complementary to each other ontology for the subject of the new science.
