Landscapes of Change 

The Catastrophe theory presupposes that all objects are in a complex dynamic system, and all have some potential for a form shift through a “catastrophe” when a threshold is met. Yet all objects are being constantly subjected to a flow of information from exterior sources and from its own interior outward to other systems. How do we chart these flows and envision them if they are to dynamic to chart in 2-dimensional space? How does this relate to the visualization of the paintings being referenced, from the futurist movement?

On Typology

Moneo describes many different ways that typology has been viewed through history, from several different movements in the discourse of architecture. He also says that “the most intense moments in architectural development are those when a new type appears” and that this occurs when there is a large shift in society. Does Moneo see shifts in architectural typology as a reaction to different shifts in society? And can you study the shifts of society through the shifts in architectural typology?
