some hints about (condition) classifications (naming)




























there are many (architectural) conditions in nordnes. some simple, some more complicated, some straight forward, some more ambiguous. while mapping and collecting data, try to classify, and at some stage (when you have enough info/material) name the conditions. specify after your own rules and typologies, so that it becomes your maps, your definitions of situations.
 
there is (so much) more to architectural conditions than assessing where private /semi-private/public is located or where wind/sun/rain conditions prevail.

discover & make visible yet unamed territories within nordnes. map, charter and name with queneau-like gusto. invent definitions.

the above (dry) "correlation chart" is from steven holl's pamphlet " edge of a city", from a project for milano.
