Field, Network, Infrastructure

"Any formal or spatial matrix capable of unifying diverse elements while respecting the identity of each... overall shape and extent are highly fluid and less important than the internal relationship of parts, which determine the behavior of the field"
- Stan Allen

Stan Allen conveys there shouldn't be a formal solution to design but instead a fluid condition in which influence plays a significant role. These field conditions may include something significant such as time or culture to even of little significance such as weather and/or light.
Spatial paradigm!


"A city is a perpetually organizing field of forces in movement, each city as specific and unique combination of historical modalities in dynamic composition"
- Sanford Kwinter



Simply put, Architecture is nothing without Infrastructure & network.
