Alain Guiheux, « Action Architecture », HAL-SHS : architecture, ID : 10670/1.wkd8ry
Conditioned for a long time by the manufacture of objects for themselves according to a secular aim, so made to last and give meaning or at least embody collective values, contemporary architecture states the transformations in progress.In this, it is action, show, marketing challenge as much as megapolitan, spectral or hyper. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao alone embodies this process of transformation, in which architecture becomes an event in the same way as Disneyland, a strategy of action and spectacularness, which, from the 1960s, Guy Debord suspected of the advent. Economic outbidding, performativity, flow, hypermedia drown the concept of work in the moment that dilutes all production and accepts all simulacra.Previously place of anticipation, the architectural project becomes the place of stories, fictions that haunts technology. At the given and contextual site, follow the hyper-territory and hyper-city that André Corboz and Rem Koolhaas describe. A triumphant technology is needed in the tools used to design buildings and build them: none of the curved forms, left, pleated current would be possible without significant innovations to draw them and then to manufacture.This human-machine interaction seems to open an inexhaustible field, in perpetual recomposition, evolving at the whim of the development of the digital and producing an architecture whose purpose is, much more than buildings, the transformation of the contemporary subject.
