Abstract: Frederick J. Kiesler, born in Cernauti in Romania on September 22 1890, presented Endless Theatre design based on the concept of endless space in 1924, showing his thoughts on non-territoriality of space, which went beyond the modern functionalistic thinking. Being presented through egg-shaped Continuous Construction (1934) and Endless House (1952), his thoughts on The Endless escaped from metaphysical concept of space through Correalism and Biotechnique, and became critical of modern functionalistic concept of space. Following Kiesler, Philip Johnson invited seven deconstructionist architects to the Museum of Modern Art held in New York 1988, which made deconstructionist construction emerge. However, deconstruction of concept of space and non-territoriality of space, both of which are found in deconstructionist construction, date back to the oval structure used by Kiesler in the Endless Theatre in 1924. With continuous curved surface, this structure showed that it could maintain a shape structurally without column or frame. This brought paradigm shift from the conventional thought that floor, wall, ceiling and column, which are structural elements of construction, are primary elements in shaping space. This shift matches to deconstructionist ideas. Egg-shaped curved figure proposed by Kiesler has no corner and its surface is a continued one, showing non-territoriality of space best. This non-territoriality is found equally in the Roof Top Remodeling proposed by Coop Himmelbau, deconstructionist architect. Giving up conventional concept of space, Coop Himmelblau embodied non-territoriality of space in construction by excluding wall, column and roof, in order to bring total liberation from all conventional traditions and customs of construction. This is similar to the concept of the Endless proposed by Kiesler.

Therefore, the methodologies and objectives of this study are to understand the correlationship between Kiesler and deconstructionist non-territorial expression of space through theoretical observation, and identify the correlationship of non-territorial expression of space by analyzing the construction works made by Kiesler and deconstructionists.

There is a paper attached to the back from Coop Himmelblau reading:  Cloud 1 Project for the Gemeinde Wien, Wohnformen der Zukunft, 1968 - 72. Project for Documenta V Mobile pneumatic house. The static building materials are replaced by a pneumatic construction on a movable platform. Architecture becomes variable like clouds. The inflatable sphere 1o m can be stored in a container. It takes 97 minutes to set it up.

Last night (2/5/04) Dave the Spaz played "Your The One" a Buddy Holly cover.

What I found at the Norton site is this new release cd/lp "Dont Knock the Rok!". clarification pending

Turf war at ground zero - The architectural machinations at Ground Zero can be treacherous

"The design as it now stands bears scant resemblance either to Libeskind’s compelling sketches or to Childs’s original concept. It is an unnatural hybrid made up of the work of two architects, each of whom believed he had the right to design the building himself."
