Non-standard Architecture is trying to break the boundaries of
the traditional understanding of rationalism, rationalisation, technicism
and engineering[1].
By doing so people are hoping to identify the most accurate apprehension of the mutation of the processes of
conception and production of architecture[2].
In a constantly changing world and environment today we are often
introduced to new computer software, and in terms of architecture it is opening a generative domain, an algorithmic
culture opening the potentialities of complex morphogenesis and complex
geometries[3],
that once upon a time may not have been possible. From this, many different
interpretations and theories arose, challenging the original critical dialogue[4].
One of the first interpretations of this came from the field of American neo-structuralism[5]
whereby the transcript of changed and focused on the typologies and morphologies[6]
of Architecture. Edmund Husserl’s approach tried to define the ‘vague morphological entities’[7],
focusing on formal and material, and opening the way to a radical logicisation of
ontology[8].
Gilles Deleuze’s theory of multiplicities was bound to a mathematisation
defined from differential calculus. The valuation of a generic immanence
imposed a new understanding of the singularisation[9].
Rene Thom had a dynamic understanding
of morphogenesis, where non-standard
analysis was the tool[10],
and he understood the relationship
between mathematics and nature, creating an integration of infinite in the numbers to define the signalisation of a
form or motive[11].
“The standard is established on solid foundations, not arbitrarily, but in the
secure knowledge of things motivated and logic controlled by analysis and
experimentation.”[12]
