| Summary: | "Architecture may be many things: ie. there is no one thing that is Architecture." As tired as this phrase may be, it is extremely valid nonetheless. From Frampton's <i>Critical Regionalism</i> to Derrida's <i>Deconstruction</i>, this declaration is rendered indisputable. Whatever the architecture does become, however, it can do so only from a boundary [as in both Heiddeger's suggestion of a <i>beginning</i> and in the Greek belief that that is where a thing "begins its presencing"].₁ It is the boundary--the WARP [from Hertzberger]--that permits the opportunities for making to come into being. "Making" can thereby be considered to be the other critical component--the WEFT--in this process of becoming.
This thesis is the beginning of a search for such a method of thinking in architecture.
