| Abstract |
This study is to lay foundation for the ecosophical architectural discourse based upon the non-representational ecological 'image of thought' of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy. Deleuze's non-representational ecological 'image of thought' is the becoming-thought image based upon the non-hierarchial becoming between philosophy/science/art/architecture/etc. This ecological 'image of thought' also demands non-hierarchial architectural becoming, which can be found in many modern architectural design process and buildings. In Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa(SANAA) architecture, non-hierarchial architectural becoming are rhizomatic becoming between 1) diagrammatic design process, 2) multiplicitic/virtual spatial organization, 3) becoming/differential/relational boundary/limit, 4) neutralized structure/architecture. In SANAA's architecture, there are no pre-existing hierarchy set either by architect, society, culture, or nature, as users can set themselves their own epistemological/psychological boundaries, spatial organization, rhizomatic relationship in every becoming fashion. SANAA's architecture is the becoming-thought itself of architecture. |
