From Riegl to Wroughten

Current discourse has provoked questions about the coherence of the architectural objectand how its boundaries are defined. The notions of surface that pervaded the disciplineover the last decade began to dissolve the physical and disciplinary boundaries of architectureinto a landscape of external contingencies. Architecture’s disciplinary concerns wereaddressed through a new subjectivity of immediately consumable surface effects. As a criticalresponse current thinking has prompted a return to metaphysics in an attempt to recuperatearchitecture’s formal and disciplinary distinction.
