Archigram's 'Beyond Architecture'

Reading Archigram's 'Beyond Architecture', 


An interesting point was made on page 94:
Architecture should consider how human communities actually functioned and respond to the existing structure of the community and allow for this structure to development in positive ways
This points to the need to understanding the relationship between social structure and architecture and their ability to inform each other (in positive ways).


The Archigram's position was that relationship between social structure and architecture is dynamic so therefore argued for indeterminate architecture. This is a paradox as architecture is form. And form by its definition is defined.


This draws parallels with the BBC Documentary "Dangerous Knowledge" about 4 great thinkers whose obsessive pursuit of the deepest knowledge led them to madness and suicide. Such as:

George Cantor trying to prove his theories of infinity through the finite language of mathematical expression.  To further clarify: trying to explain non-logic with logic. and,

Bletchley Park died trying to prove that some things are fundamentally unprovable.
