Statement 2

Deconstructing the architectural object is akin to quantum research. The closer you look things become uncertain, not because your instruments aren’t strong enough or calibrated enough, but because things themselves are indeterminate, uncertain. Holistically speaking, knowledge tends to the indeterminate, constitutively entangled with our modality of looking. This is certainly true of sub-atomic particles, of which all architecture is ultimately made, but it is also true of the geographic sources of things, the process that manufacture materials and the labors that are engaged in the production of work.
It is also true for the very idea of ‘architecture’ – a word that practically empty of clarity (regardless of what the dictionary says). The Eurocentric – i.e. Greek - origin of the word is in itself grounds for a refusal.
