Pier Vittorio Aureli – After the Diagram
http://www.undisciplinary.com/aureli_diagram
Is the personal wiki of Martin Zemlicka. Pier Vittorio Aureli After the Diagram. 25102005, Architectural Association, London. A lot of architects and urbanists use the map as an illustration of a rhetoric about the city, for example, Colin Rowe uses it as an illustration of figure-ground urbanism; others as the division between public space and private space. For Pier, the map is the first scientific map of Rome, an extremely accurate one. Piranesi helped Nolli do the architecture part of the map. Alison...

http://www.undisciplinary.com/mitasova_critical
Is the personal wiki of Martin Zemlicka. Monika Mitášová Is Critical Architecture Possible? 06052014, Czech Technical University, Faculty of Architecture. Apparently this horribly advertised lecture was part of Monika Mitasova’s habilitation process, I only knew about it via word of mouth, which is a shame as it was very good and quite unlike a typical architecture related presentation. Some thoughts that were thrown around to help understand what is meant by critical architecture:. Critical architecture...

Arata Isozaki
http://www.undisciplinary.com/arata_isozaki
Is the personal wiki of Martin Zemlicka. It is a testament to Isozaki’s independence that, while subject to Metabolist influence, he always maintained a certain distance from the fictive utopianism of the movement, preferring to comment from the wings, as it were, rather than respond too directly to catalytic exhortations of Noboru Kawazoe who was Metabolism’s main ideologue. A wiki by Martin Zemlicka.

Bon mots
http://www.undisciplinary.com/bon_mots
Is the personal wiki of Martin Zemlicka. I should have started keeping a list of bon mots much longer ago, too many of the ones from others escape me. If history is the exploration of the conditions of the existence of something; then theory is the exploration of how those conditions could come to be, and their meaning. Books don’t have negative space. Gap taste = art. In architecture, atmosphere begins where the building ends. A wiki by Martin Zemlicka.
