Stemming from the Latin pellis, meaning skin, the word pellicular has evolved to encompass such concepts as leather, fur, parchment, hide, film, scum, layer, and membrane. Exploring architectural enclosure through these linguistic tangents leads to fleshing out its potential to perform as ornamental layers, performative skins, adhesive wraps, or film screens. The dematerialized distinction between inside and out, which pellicular surfaces exploit from the perspective of differential interior and exterior pressures, help to push, pull, and stretch the architectural enclosure into spaces where these two realms nearly slip into one another.","PeriodicalId":41420,"journal":{"name":"Interiors-Design Architecture Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20419112.2018.1504417","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48052583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anything worth saying carries the hazard of refutation or, if proven irrefutable, of growing pains. But this is especially so in the case of one category of insight—the unmentionable.

Beyond the normative boundaries of the present an open zone beckons us to challenge the assumptions of ethics, aesthetics, predictability, and intelligibility.

Typically, infrastructure is understood as transportation, communication or utilities. Recently, infrastructure has been defined to include replicable building models that maintain an organization or information network. As individual buildings become reproducible products engineered for function they can be defined as a networked infrastructure. Likewise, a reproducible interior element can transcend its architecture and produce a networked infrastructural interior. This Hypothesis is analyzed though interior conditions without architecture (though various subway system conditions), within a non-architectured sites (the parking garage), and as a part of a systematically networked interior condition (Library/disaster relief and Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS)).An expanding investigation into the interior requires an examination of interiority beyond quotidian occupation. Infrastructure is typically considered as physical or data driven interconnectivity, for example transportation, communication or utilities. Recently, infrastructure has expanded to include replicable building models that maintain an organization or information network. As individual buildings become reproducible products, no longer uniquely designed by architects but rather engineered for function, they can be defined as infrastructure (Easterling 2014). Likewise, a reproducible interior element set within an architecture can transcend that architecture and become a networked infrastructural interior condition. Infrastructural interiors can exist either without architecture at all, within a structure that is not typically considered an inhabitable architecture (or non-architectured), or where the functionality of the interior is networked.","PeriodicalId":41420,"journal":{"name":"Interiors-Design Architecture Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20419112.2018.1485383","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48774629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two concrete projects are elaborated, Lafayette 148 and Thermoplastic Concrete Casting. Both projects explore alternative techniques for formwork production to address design parameters that traditional methods fall short of accomplishing. Lafayette 148 also highlights when labor itself becomes the design criteria, to accommodate workers in a well-lit and well-ventilated environment for garment manufacturing. For the discussion on shifting modalities for design inquiry in architectural production (as in what constitute new forms of labor for designers) raised by Thermoplastic Concrete Casting, a similarly labor-intensive process for mold making for textile pleating is described. Here, the close alliance between clothing and architectural production offers an opportunity for textile pleating, advanced by the Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake, to serve as an example where innovations and emergent forms of creative productions are possible when traditional methods are challenged. In this parallel read, questions emerge as to whether concrete forming, whose methods steeped in true and tried processes could be reinvested with new life - especially in light of new types of technology and fabrication tools that are available today.","PeriodicalId":41420,"journal":{"name":"Interiors-Design Architecture Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20419112.2018.1482119","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59994912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effort to contextualize the role of domestic architectural taste in 1970s is found upon developing domestic interiors as advertised vehicles of upward mobility that showcased taste as a constructed object that is sutured with signs of cultural capital.","PeriodicalId":41420,"journal":{"name":"Interiors-Design Architecture Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20419112.2018.1485384","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44555335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those instructors were in turn influenced by the countercultural Whole Earth Catalog and the environmental design movement, the educational leadership and writings of Charles Moore, the neo-rationalist Tendenza movement (typologies and the ripple effect of Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein’s A Pattern Language), and Edward T. Hall’s work on proxemics in The Hidden Dimension. Also on those instructors’ reading lists were works by Merleau-Ponty from the embodied branch of phenomenology, and Gaston Bachelard’s seminal The Poetics of Space that introduced the phrase ‘intimate immensity,’ which validated the interior as an arena for exploration.
