What new sensibility, configuration or ‘dominant’ logic now for educational theory?

 

Notes

1. This phrase comes from Archinet blog, David Zelbin, UBC, 23 January 2005: ‘The studio is then focused on uncertainties and possibilities in architectural design and is intended to encourage an “anexact yet rigorous” methodology.’ The phrase was originally meant to describe a new type of geometry invented by Edmund Husserl: ‘[Edmund] Husserl invented a new category of geometry that was neither inexact—nor unmeasurable and unrepeatable—nor exact—or reducible and repeatable—but was instead “anexact yet rigorous,” meaning measurable yet irreducible and therefore unrepeatable. Vague types such as the round, dented, elongated, lens shaped, and umbilliform provided the measurable variations from which a reduction to invariant types could be performed. What this often amounts to is what’s commonly termed as, well, blobitecture. But it’s not quite that bad. The experimental/theoretical work of the “anexact yet rigorous” is often blobby, but the restraints of building code and practice often rein in their fantasies and make things that are smart. . . intelligent, if you will.’
