About
Deleuze and Guattari call smoothing and striating as two antagonistic interpretations and operations of territory. The territory of the nomads are smooth spaces, striated spaces on the other hand are created by the sedentary.
The Vision
For architecture this conflict is fundamental. Institutions establish a set of rules and framework in which the subjects have the assurance they will socially evolve within this pre-established hierarchy the more they conform to these rules.
Architects establish plans that are the
direct expression of their transcendental
control over the matter and architecture's
users. Architecture embodies the striating
space in the defined limits of land dealing
with private property and space.
Digital
space has no boundaries, its creation can
be endless and embodies a new smooth
space.
