Hylomorphic Architecture
Hylomorphic Architecture
[Seoul, Korea]
scenario: self-organization, uncertainty, porous boundaries
Hylomorphic Architecture was a winning entry for SPACE international student competition held in Seoul in 2006. The topic of the competition was “faster and bigger,” and the requirement was to master-plan 1000 housing units in a faster and bigger growing dynamic Seoul environment.
My initial provocation was of “no master-plan”. There is no master-plan when it comes to complex adaptive systems. Complex systems call for no master-plan but rather an introduction of self-organization. This non-panoptical system refuses a position of central control, but instead welcomes a drifting and localized negotiation of boundaries. It this reactionary and incremental growth process, all actions are temporal, non-static, and arrhythmic. The site in Seoul is located in the midst of the edge of city-sprawl. City-sprawl is a result of flawed capitalistc endeveours. The site is symbolically nested in-between high-speed auto-ways (representing technology as speed), set across from a wall of high-rise buildings (representing technology as size). Hylomorphic architecture liberates the site from these symbolic neighboring conditions: as an initiation of new process of city growth. It does not become a monumentalization of the “complex” but realizes itself in (real-time) action and process. “Uncertainty” is its main operative protocol, and its random prediction directs its “becoming”.
Jean Oury: “Hesitation is a logical crossroads. If you don’t get past the hesitation barrier, you regress toward dogmatism, a kind of rigidity... But if you get over this hump, you find yourself at an anthropological junction, faced with two paths - one, belief, the other, desire - that allow you to gain access to a sort of mutation in existence.”
