Summary of Architecture from the Outside-the future of space:toward an archiecture of invention


The author raised a question about what can philosophy and architecture benefit from each other.

There are two kinds of time. The time of the interval, the time of nontime and the time of history.  The author is more interested in the first kind of time. That’s the reason that he goes on introducing the concept of the virtual and virtuality.

Then the author gives a articulation of virtuality linked to futurity, to becoming and to differentiation. 

A logic of invention:  only such a logic can mediate between the reflective categories of philosophical thought and the pragmatic requirements of any empirical project, here the architectural project.

Deleuze said philosophy is both a mode of solving problems and a mode of thinking or theorizing multiplicities. So as the architecture. Philosophy deals with the alignments between the actual and the virtual. Architecture, is perpetually verging on the ever-increasing loops of uncertainty and immanence that its own practices engage and produce.
