architecture is not simply about space and form, but also about event, action, and what happens in space. B Tschumi B.
“CROSSPROGRAMMING” “TRANSPROGRAMMING” “DISPROGRAMMING”
space
-Architecture has always been as much about the event -that takes place in a space as about the space itself. -The Columbia University Rotunda has been a library, it has been used as a banquet hall, it is often the site of university lectures; someday it could fulfill the needs for an athletic facility at the University. What a wonderful swimming pool the Rotunda would be - “the respective contamination of all categories, the constant substitutions, the confusion of genres” -as described by critics of the right and left alike from Andreas Huyssens to Jean Baudrillard -- is the new direction of our times…” times ” - “If architecture is both concept and experience, space and use, structure and superficial image -- nonhierarchically -- then architecture should cease to separate these categories and instead merge them into unprecedented combinations of programs and spaces.”

“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.” colin rowe, fred koetter, collage city

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.”
