I found this weeks reading have probably have the strongest relationship to contemporary architecture than any previous discussion.  I am not saying the previous discussion points do not apply to architecture, rather they affected architecture more overtly.  That being said, I found the interest of these articles with bubbles as a primary architecture material in design to be to much fiction.  I fail to see how these structures that are described in Antfarm or Banham’s environmental bubble could become a pragmatic structure in today’s settled culture.  Perhaps this is because I can’t envision living in them during the middle of a Buffalo winter. One quality of the bubbles that I found interesting was flexibility of the structure.

Using our previous course discussions about how the perception of time and space have changed, it is interesting to think about how the house can be affected by this.  One of the underlining themes that all of the proposed homes have is the ability to move. Through advancement of technology the theoretical foundations, such as the importance of a location to a house, may no longer exist.  If we apply the ideas of previous lectures like cybernetics and speed, I could imagine a home to be anywhere and still be able to perform the capabilities of a house.  So after thousands of years being a settled culture, due to these changes we could once again become a nomadic culture.
