Conflicts of society are the main ingredients in the
analytical work of creating architecture. Instead of looking at the conflicts
of a given project as limitations, a structure works perceptually as
the product of these conflicts and tensions in the psyche of the individual. The
reconstruction of an object
made necessary by this process of analysis and reduction, involves the use of
codes which are themselves meaningful and coherent, and are “a way
to incorporate and integrate differences … by tying conflicting interests into
a Gordian knot of new ideas.” This involves the dismantling of the preconceptions which would allow one
to have a ready-made idea of what a “house” is, and insists that the observer
or user carry out a reconstruction of the object.
The
ideology of form seems to abandon its own vocation of realism, no sematic distinction
exists between functions and forms. An attempt is made to counteract the processes that
have concretely risen above the ideological level by recuperating Chaos, they reinforce each
other to produce meanings which extend in an unbroken chain from the most
habitual and redundant to the most complex and information-laden. Therefore, architects tie
conflicting parts together and hereby create something radically new.
