Diagrams of Diagrams: Architectural Abstraction and Modern Representation

ITS SURFACE SEEMS SLICK, PERHAPS reflective, often translucent, skinlike, visually viscous; its form appears curved, ballooned, bulging, segmental, warped, and twisted; its structure looks webbed, ribbed, and vaulted; its materials might be synthetic, resinous, metallic, and alloyed; its interior would be cavelike, womblike, tunneled, burrowed, and furrowed; its furniture and fittings are envisaged as soft, almost porous in texture, cast or injected, molded, and sensitive to heat and light. Its architect calls it a "blob," and compares it to a history of similar objects in nature that cultural theory since Georges Bataille has identified with the informe. The techniques of its design are drawn not from architecture but from animation software that generates its complex forms with the help of digital avatars that work, independent of the architect, to produce multiple iterations of possible combinations. 1 Or perhaps it resembles a smooth moon landscape seen as if from a low-flying aircraft moving fast, its rifts, folds, crevices, escarpments, faults, and plateaus swiftly zooming into view like the artificial terrain of a Star Wars Racer game; bundles of intersecting tubes and paths, vectors, and force fields are marked on its surface, as if the entire environment had been transformed into a vast fiber-optic network or a magnetic plate whose tectonics were distorted by huge densities of attraction and repulsion. What seem to be the traces of human settlement are layered and compressed like so many geological formations, congealed into a solid geometry of crystalline forms. Neither a map nor a model of an existing geography, this environment is a virtual model of data as if it were geography, inserted into the morphologically transformed structures of cities and regions. Its architects refer to topologies and topographies and prefer to identify what they do as mapping rather than drawing.2 Or maybe its edges are hard and sharp, its walls, if they can be identified, are transparent, or luminously translucent; its interiors are filled with semifloating, egg-
