Notes on Diagram Diaries

“Thus, this three-pronged critique would variously foreground context (the framing mechanisms outside form); process (the active procedures within formation); and usage (form’s relation to a subject). With the neo-avant-grade, then, form would be precisely subjected to the functions of its linguistic descendants: informing, transforming, and performing.”

~ R.E. Somol, ‘Dummy Text, or the Diagrammatic Basis of Contemporary Architecture’
