ARCHITECTURAL Body
An ORGANISM that PERSONS
Gins and Arakawa 2002
Although the human condition is a crisis condition if ever there was one, few individuals and societies act with the dispatch a state of emergency requires. The fact that the human condition is a crises condition gets routinely covered up, with culture invariably functioning to obscure how dire the condition is and to float it as bearable
If organisms form themselves as persons by uptaking the environment, then they involve not only bodies but domains, spheres of activity and influence
Start by thinking of architecture as a tentative constructing toward a holding in place. Architecture's holding in place occurs within and as part of a prevailing atmospheric condition that others routinely call biosphere but which we, feeling the need to stress its dynamic nature, have renamed bioscleave
Procedural Architure/Architectural Body
Gins and Arakawa
The role of architecture as a tool for researching the body-environment towards the implementation of these considerations is paramount
The goal of an experimental teaching and learning space based on architectural procedures would be that the process of design and construction would allow students/staff to rethink, re-imagine and enact the curriculum

An Architecture of Viability
To help to sustain one throughout life/ to stay tentative
Bioscleave House as an inter-active laboratory of everyday life
Wayfinding (unpacking discourse/meaning) through Landing Sites and Architectural Bodies
What is the metachallenge that bioscleave demands of us? Is it, I propose, wayfinding, a wayfinding defined at many scales from finding one's way as a person to finding one's way in a strange physical or social environment

Figure/Ground : Double Occupations of Discourses and Events (relationships/co-existances)
So as a diagram (performative agent), the figure/ground does not function to represent even something real. But rather constructs a real that is yet to come (theoretical object/apparatus) as a new type of reality
Situated Field/Constructed Site of People, Institutions, Apparatuses, Events, Discourses
We see intraventions as heuristic devices, as apparatuses that are imbued with a will to transform.
The intravention is not autonomous but contingent and relational and dependent on many other things
The intravention is made as it happens, and it makes us at the same time
Immediate Architectural Interventions, Durations and Effects
Oren Lieberman, Alberto Altes
AEffect initiating Heuristic Life
Procedural architecture, developed in both their written and buillt discourse, providing a process by which to connect theory to practice, disciplinary inquiry to knowledge and art to life
Research should be conducted , not in a library or laboratory but where living happens, enabling the complexity of relationships to be studied within and across the organism-person-environment
Jondi Keane
Carnal Knowledge
Towards a New Materialism through the Arts
Estelle Barrett, Barbara Bolt
To provide observational heuristic devices so that persons may devise transformational and reconfigurative opportunities
Heuristic tools whether built hypothesis or discursive sequences, are of no use if they do not provide a way forward, a way of learning
This house is a tool, a procedural one
A functional tool, whether it be a hammer, a telephone, or a telescope, extends the senses, but a procedural tool examines and reorders the sensorium
Interlude : Cornering a Beginning
An object becomes the threshold for thinking feeling
Relationscapes : Movement, Art, Philosopy
Erin Manning
Born into a new territory, and that territory is myself as organism. There is no place to go but here. Each organism that persons finds the new territory that is itself, and having found it, adjusts it
Ellipsis,(gaps in everyday narratives)
The Construction of Representation of Identity
Using their bodies and immediate surroundings and environment as both subject and context
An Organism-Person-Environment
You cannot see me from where I look at myself
Francesca Woodman
An organism-person-environment has given birth to an organism-person-environment
Bioscleave
Chaos, Territory, Art
Deleuze and the framing of the earth
Elizabeth Grosz
Body, Personal Relations, Spatial Values
Upright Human Body : Space and Time
Yi Fu Tuan
Figuring It Out
The Parallel Visions of Artists and Archaeologists
Colin Renfrew
The act of relating is analysed as a constitutive feature of human agency. Relating is viewed as the continuous work of connecting and disconnecting in a fluctuating network of existential events
Categories and things may make it easier for us to grasp reality but they also hide its underlying complexities
Relationality 2005
