The Poetics of Space
"New theory must model the larger implications of architecture’s digitization beyond the potential for creating
extraordinary form. For soon those who commission architecture, and even those who “consume” it, will wake
up fully to the reality that most buildings, within a type, have no inherent reason to differ from other buildings, from
place to place. The architect’s already tenuous status as a custom tailor, based on the flattery of supposing that
every building is properly a “unique response” to a unique site and program, will surely be challenged if not
ridiculed once computers guide machinery directly from “drawings,” which can themselves be parameterized and,
if necessary, modularized and commoditized and traded to make buildings that will never be seen next to each
other. Recombinant architecture? Why not? Think of what digital sampling has done to (for?) the production of
music."

"Your words do much to abate the fire that writhes
inside
It is hard
But that I had done a bit more . . .
Had the towers stood up for just one minute longer . . .
It is hard."
