60 THESES on the Discipline of Architecture/Design Note 1: The 60 theses presented here flow from a coherent, comprehensive account and forward agenda. Elaborations and argumentations explicating and justifying these theses can be found in the author’s book ‘The Autopoiesis of Architecture’. Theses 1 – 24 relate to AoA Volume 1, and theses 25 – 60 are treated in Volume 2.

Visionary and inspiring, especially in the context of the complete Autopoiesis of Architecture volumes, and still fresh after many readings. Always finding something *new* and surprising in there. Love this note you added: “Architecture here stands in for the totality of the design disciplines, i.e. all theses put forward here pertain also to all other design disciplines, i.e. metaverse design, urban design, architecture, interior design, furniture design, product design, fashion design, graphic design, web-design.”
Thanks and can see clearly your discourse and agree totally with most of today’s ‘artistic’ expression being in a world solely of its own parameters. Past art’s societal function has now largely been lost; is most certainly a truth.
A little uncertain about Part 9, the necessity of demarcation in that it is the ‘artistic’ expression of architecture that is one of its most powerful “demarcations” of built expression above that of the wealth of poor design. Though I grasp that ZHA aesthetic expression arises from necessary and integrated movement they are still artistic in their expression and integral to the final design.
