congruent relationships....you know how lots of things tend to get divided into two opposing sides, contradictions in architecture...a cliched one inside-outside, i'm just wondering about all the in-betweens rather than divide everything up so conveniently, i think the arrow articel by massumi was interesting, because it was more about the unseen points in between rather than the initial position of tha arrow and the end point on the target board, maybe, your curve-euclidean dilemma may lie somewhere in-between? just a passing thought......cos this congruent relationship thingy's been on my mind since some while ago.

thoughts on felicity

"is animation achieved through form of building alone? to what degree do ligting, color - environmental conditions - influence the preceived animation. " the experience and perceiving abilities of the user as well?

"If a tree falls in a forrest and there is nobody to hear it, does it make a sound?" really like this,it's as though in order to understand anything at all, one have to reposition oneself and constantly question, if in asking the above, you're questioning what makes up sound, then in turn, what exactly makes up animation then? and, architecture? not purely being about movement or a moving building. what is the essence of animation and if that can potentially be extracted or honed in, and then architecture infers from that, does that then makes animated architecture?

"when do you stop the process, when do you play god? – the desperate act."....because animation procedures seem to have a never ending capability about them ( and this is what a tutor once said), it is important on the part of the archtiect, to know quite precisely, the intentions of the processes, and the aim of it, so that in the end, it depends on the better judgement of the architect to make a decision of when enough is enough....and that is the ongoing challenge, when does the process end? when is it enough? maybe its when the outcome is sufficient in producing a reasonable answer intended prior to the process.
