............................................................ nettimers, i am compiling a listing of architectural texts online, and would like to include those texts in the archives. so, if you have written an essay about architecture or architectural issues, or have conducted an interview that is online elsewhere, please send me the url so i can include it in the project. thanks, bc ............................................................ a r c h i t e x t u r e z an online community for hacking and cracking the architectural code http://www.architexturez.com/ newly redesigned, the architexturez project website catalogues architectural research and theoretical texts about the built environment, online the internet. following is a sample of the site's content: {computer icon} the *architectural texts* section currently has /research/ in the following categories: [aesthetics] [a-life] [anthropology] [archaeology] [artificial intelligence] [building code] [cad] [cartography] [complexity] [computing] [construction] [criticism] [cyberplanning] [cyberspace] [deconstructivism] [design] [disney] [electricity] [energy] [ethnography] [gated communities] [geometry] [historiography] [humanity] [identity] [information architecture] [infrastructure] [interface] [landscape] [language] [las vegas] [malls] [mathematics] [media] [modernism] [music] [nurbanism] [organicism] [pedagogy] [philosophy] [photography] [planning] [politics] [post-modernism] [practice] [preservation] [psychology] [representation] [research] [security] [space settlement] [space-time] [style] [superstars] [sustainability] [theme parks] [typology] [virtual archaeology] [virtual reality] --> if you have written a text related to architecture, in the broadest sense of the word, and it's on the internet, please send the url to human@architexturez.com {people icon} the *researchers & publishers* section seeks to catalogue /researchers/ of architecture, be they media archaeologists, critics, writers, or laypeople with a desire to decode and recode the built environment. please submit your contact information to the network. also, /publishers/ of architectural texts are listed to help those researchers seeking venues for publication. {eye icon} the *architexturez perspectives* section provides a platform for writers to share their architectural /perspectives/ in essays. feedback for is provided via an /evocations/ form. {nodes icon} the *architectural hyperlinks* section compiles a wide-range of internet resources related to architectural theory and research. ... about the new aesthetic: the clich'e of architecture as a manipulation and combination of materials has been exploited by placing freely available textures of various materials such as wood, metal, marble, and concrete in complex and contradictory relations with one another. these architectural signs simultaneously simulate and represent materiality, online and off. this dichotomy is demonstrated in the /research/ section, where traditional areas of architectural thought are placed upon a marble background, while new fields of architectural exploration based upon knowledge of electricity is located on a background of a lightning storm. it is the specific interest of architexturez to interrogate this relationship between these two orders of architecture, actual and virtual. the interface also reflects a strategy of information archaeology, whereby (the signs of architecture and) pre-existing architectural content on the internet is gathered as an open-source architectural code, along- side the architectural building of new content. ... the architexturez project is a not-for-profit endeavor... your support and partnership are necessary to keep it living. ... become an architectural programmer, and hack and crack the architectural code... http://www.architexturez.com/ bc _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
