ANARCHY
In the process of trying reflect anarchy through my building design I began to look at the Aesthetics of Anarchy as a way of defining an language for my building. The aesthetics of anarchy is based on a new interpretation of art and human creativity: an art without rules
Anarchy interpreted as the next step after chaos and order. Derived from arche means an ordered universe, a chaos transformed. If chaos precedes arche, arche in its turn precedes anarchy. Following this framework anarchy is neither order nor chaos, although it contains elements of both, and may be defined as an action that connects them.
If we regard anarchy as an active dialectical process (the Marxian process of change through conflict of opposing forces), we can assume that any creative process is at root anarchic, since it intensely transforms the formal matter of an object, its nature, in an attempt to reveal its essence.
An archaic form, constantly augmented and changing, the building itself is in fact a definition of anarchy. Reflecting this anarchist ideology through moveabe walls a dynamic flux tin the envirnoment that allows for a variety of activities to take place.
