Inchoate


Inchoate: Incomplete and imperfect circumstances…

Architecture’s unified and stable conditions make the notion of inchoate seem irrelevant.
It seeks to unravel…"the undoing of fixed categories.

One faces a split condition of understanding the norm and shattering foundational presumptions.

Teaching architecture remains dynamic and changing…displaying an acceptance of architecture’s unsettled condition...the difficulty in teaching architecture comes from the strategic and sequential nature of teaching that usually progresses from a point of origin. Architecture sits on un-secure grounds.

"Primacy of visual appearances, asserting the value of the final object’s formal presence has been traditionally considered paramount in the formation of architecture. Primacy of authorship, asserting the existence of a creator architect, has been commonly considered a essential act of architecture.The primacy of the object, asserting the presence of the work in its pristine condition, has been conventionally perceived as architecture’s final end in itself."

Like film, architecture can be questioned as an ambiguous construction, an open ended condition with plural interpretations.
