Science, Society, Metaphors and Architecture

Looking back, I could now argue that authored architecture’s conscious relationship with nature has always been mainly on a superficial metaphorical level, and therefore the voronoi diagram fits right in as a continuation of previous endeavors – not that i agree that this relationship is still useful now (ie the current eco-fuck context), it’s just the way it manifested itself under the pressure of the obvious (unconscious) needs of “grounding” (or, as Neil Leach argues, camouflaging) society into its surrounding world (or, to be more specific, its interpretation or understanding – scientific, societal, religious, etc. – of the surrounding world).

Isn’t hindsight wonderful? I am now in the process of re-evaluating and toning down my revolutionary tone, hehe…  

As well, I’m realizing slowly that in a sense, ecology or eco-friendliness lacks a philosophical base or justification which I’m slowly debunking a little bit through my investigations.
