The Refrain.
Deleuze and Guattari.
Enchantment entails a state of wonder, and one of the distinctions of this state is the temporary suspension of chronological time and bodily movement. To be enchanted, then is to participate in a momentarily immobilizing encounter; it is to be transfixed, spellbound, a moment of pure presence.
The Wonder of Minor Experiences.
Jane Bennett.
Enchantment requires active engagement with objects of sensuous experience, it is a state of interactive fascination.
Capacitive Environments, a building that seeks to both communicate with its users and provide a spectacle for onlookers.
The moment of pure presence within wonder lies in the object's difference and uniqueness being so striking to the mind that it does not remind us of anything and we find ourselves delaying in its presence for a time in which the mind does not move on by association to something else.

Dialogic learning is learning that takes place through dialogue. It is typically the result of egalitarian dialogue; in other words, the consequence of a dialogue in which different people provide arguments based on validity claims and not on power claims.

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.

For Benjamin, the twentieth century is an age of alienation. Human beings are no longer 'cocooned' within their dwelling spaces. Architectural spaces are no longer reflections of the human spirit. Something has been lost.

Between moments of 'meaning' lie spaces or blanks of immediate experience. Such blanks are actuality. Usually the blank, the actuality, goes unnoticed because it works so efficiently to differentiate one meaningful event from another. Kubler discussed this in The Shape of Time.

Josiah McElheny
Object Lesson/Heuristic Device
The term 'heuristic' is understood here to denote a method of addressing and solving problems that draws not on logic but on experience, learning and testing. In this regard stories and fictional narratives can be heuristic devices in acting as ideal models that are not to be emulated but which help to situate characters, actions and objects.

Adaptation
The second phase of project activity acknowledges that the proposal involves two sites; the landscape of settlement and the artifice of the factory. The design is intended to be a reflection of the conditions of each, so there was a need to work directly with the manufacturing process, at full scale, as early as possible. This would provide an immediate counterpoint to the earlier representations and a necessary part of exploring the manufacturing medium in the context of architectural design. 69

The Illegal Architect
Immaterial Architecture
Mark Cousins suggests that the discipline of architecture is weak because it involves not just objects but relations between subjects and objects. And if the discipline of architecture is weak, then so, too, is the practice of architects. Architecture must be immaterial and spatially porous, as well as solid and stable where necessary, and so should be the practice of architects.

Natural History
Exhibiting Herzog and De Meuron
We are not out to fill the exhibition space in the usual manner and to adorn it with records of our architectonic work. Exhibitions of that kind just bore us, since their didactic value would be conveying false information regarding our architecture. People imagine that they can follow the process, from the sketch to the final, photographed work, but in reality nothing has really been understood, all that has happened is that records of an architectural reality have been added together.
My studio is a piece of architecture that is silent. The things of which it is made say all and at the same time nothing. Its strength lies in its demanding silence. A stern silence in order to permit works to occur. I imagine that a painting by Newman could be hung there.
The arrival of Beuys in a world that was gradually falling asleep amidst minimalism generated a kind of confusion that was truly excellent for opening up the mind. Comfort vanished, driven away by subversive complexity.

Anti Object
We are composed of matter and live in the midst of matter. Our objective should not be to renounce matter, but to search for a form of matter other than objects. What that form is called architecture, gardens, technology is not important.

Maussion's very choice of the nude recalls the most classic of strategies within the tradition of easel painting, but as we have seen it is one mediated by the mechanical effects of photography and the distance of memory.

The body as the instrument of our emotions and our sensuality.
In all its starkness this figure is a most sensitive and complicated mechanism. The naked human is seen as a symbol of existence achieved through observation of painful acuteness.
Herbert Boeckl. 1894-1966.
All Boeckl's life-drawings are distinguished by a strong physical presence. He is truly concerned with interpreting life in terms of human bodies, of the beauty of functioning muscle and bone and with the tactile aspects of flesh, as well as the knowledge of what lies beneath it. His nudes speak a physical language. He uses charcoal as a technical means to best achieve lucidity.
Boeckl is not concerned with 'beauty of line' as his predecessors Klimt and Schiele were, he always sees the body in the context of space and draws 'from within'. He builds up his figures from a structural core, the surface of his forms take on a strongly moulded, modelled aspect through a great economy of means.
