Diagramming the Topology of Technology and Architecture in the 21st Century

Abstract

The research aims to address the existence of neoliberal policies in contemporary architectural production from an onto-political perspective. In Deleuze's ontology, the movement between the self and the other is established between the architect-subject and the ideological other. This relation is explored through the technique's being the object or subject of thought. In this context, the choices made by the architect-subject within the ethical framework are evaluated as active and passive and read through the symbolic plane it externalizes. The active and passive positionings of architectural thought reconstruct the professional boundaries of architecture. The surface formed by the movement of the relationship between the architect-subject and the ideological other on the temporal axis establishes the topology of technology-architecture thought.
