Monograf. 1: The Future of the Scholarly Journal - Amodern. The emergence of online scholarship is a momentous development and an occasion for some serious rethinking of the scholarly knowledge system.
This serious rethinking has been happening in earnest for some time, but it isn’t just about technology. Objectile. Archaeology of the Digital. Curated by architect Greg Lynn, Archaeology of the Digital is conceived as an investigation into the foundations of digital architecture at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s through four seminal projects that established bold new directions for architectural research by experimenting with novel digital tools: the Lewis Residence by Frank Gehry (1985–1995), Peter Eisenman’s unrealized Biozentrum (1987), Chuck Hoberman’s Expanding Sphere (1992) and Shoei Yoh’s roof structures for Odawara (1991) and Galaxy Toyama (1992) Gymnasiums.
These four architects went to the computer with different needs and in doing so created four very clear strands in the evolution of architecture. For Frank Gehry, the computer influenced the development of an expressive design language. The series of designs for the unfinished Lewis Residence shows a fascinating interplay between three-dimensional computer simulations and physical models that leads to a new architectural vocabulary.

Thesis: is performance in architecture like the performance of a machine, or a theater?
Hi Archinect!
This post goes along with this one where I shared two videos that started my work on thesis this semester. Here, I wanted to explain a bit about what I mean by "unaccomplished performances," which is the working title for the project: I’m starting with the question: what do we mean when we talk about performance in architecture? As David Leatherbarrow writes, is this the kind of performance that we get out of a machine—like the efficiency of an engine—or is it the kind of performance that we watch unfold on a stage?
What is interesting to me about this question is that we could describe some of the main discourses in contemporary architecture through both kinds of performance: First there is the translation of data (about climate, intended program, demographics, structures, etc.) into built form. This notion of theatricality or expression is not new. Thanks for reading! Body, Space & Technology Journal. International Network for Neuroaesthetics. Institute of Neuroesthetics.

Pia Ednie-Brown RMIT University, Melbourne SuperModels What does physical eroticism signify if not violation of the very being of its practitioners?
…The whole business of eroticism is to destroy the self-contained character of the participators as they are in their normal lives. (George Bataille, 2001: 17) To become a supermodel is a dream of many young girls, longing for their own bodies to exemplify the image of desire and eroticism. Models, in general, exemplify or portray properties that are not actually present, whether this is because they don’t exist (yet), are too complex to exist simply (never being available to comprehension in its entirety) or are by nature ungraspable (virtual).
