Frontmatter -- Content -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Untimely Architecture -- Architecture as a Time Complex -- Out of Key with the Times -- Real Fictions -- Architecture in the Time of a (Temporal) Collapse -- As a Snake Sheds its Skin -- Learning to “See” Like A Machine -- The Past is Yet to Come -- Computational Architecture, Architectonic Models -- Sublime Uselessness -- Making the Donkey Drink Water, or the “Problem” of Stopping in the Digital Age -- Temporalization of “Seeing” -- Depth in Aesthetic Perception -- Virtualities of the Visible -- Radical Acts in the Architectural Representation of Space -- Spatial Fabulations and Other Tales of Representation in Virtual Reality -- List of Figures -- Contributors
Summary: The planetary instantaneity that digital technologies have enabled is leading to an effacement of the divisions that separate the past from the future, ensuring that the present is ubiquitous. While contemporary architecture seems to have lost the capacity to conceive of the past as a transformative force, this book stresses the need to rethink today's complex temporal mechanisms through the notion of the untimely. This concept opens up a whole spectrum of possibilities to go beyond what seems predictable. The contributors to this book employ critical concepts and architectural design tools in order to offer experimental and speculative approaches for unknown futures of architecture.
