smooth & fold; Alternative design theories
'The Smooth
and the Striated' by Deleuze and Guatarri: define 'smooth' space
that has many qualities that fit the new living conditions (heterogeneous,
nomad, intensive, rhizomatic, haptic), in reality they 'co-exist' in a mixture.
Greg Lynn
describes the advantages architecture can gain from 'smooth' and 'folded'
systems:
develope sensibility to the
envirinments and needs, and allow continuous co-existance of complex
diferences, while maitainig their identity.
