architecture is not simply about space and form, but also about event, action, and what happens in space. B .Tschumi Tschumi
“CROSSPROGRAMMING” “TRANSPROGRAMMING” “DISPROGRAMMING”
space
-Architecture has always been as much about the event -that takes place in a space as about the space itself. -The Columbia University Rotunda has been a library, it has been used as a banquet hall, it is often the site of university lectures; someday it could fulfill the needs for an athletic facility at the University. What a wonderful swimming pool the Rotunda would be - “the respective contamination of all categories, the constant substitutions, the confusion of genres” -as described by critics of the right and left alike from Andreas Huyssens to Jean Baudrillard -- is the new direction of our times ” …” - “If architecture is both concept and experience, space and use, structure and superficial image -- nonhierarchically -- then architecture should cease to separate these categories and instead merge them into unprecedented combinations of programs and spaces.”

“EVENTUALIZATION” OF ARCHITECTURE
“events of thought”
- For Foucault, an event is not simply a logical sequence of words or actions, but rather “the moment of erosion, collapse, questioning, or problematization of the very assumptions of the setting within which a drama may take place -- occasioning the chance or possibility of another, different setting.” The event here is seen as a turning point -- not an origin or an end -- as opposed to such propositions as “form follows function.” I would like to propose that the future of architecture lies in the construction of such events.
