ENCODING and the SACRED CODING and the PUBLIC

It was a PUBLIC VOICE that reasoned what ARCHITECTURE is about [Book I], and that learned about the OBJECTIVITY of our world [Books II & III]. These Books IV–VI ask: WHAT TO TALK about.

“He took the three elements of the same, the other, and the essence, and mingled them into one form, compressing by force the reluctant and unsociable nature of the other into the same. When he had mingled them with the essence and out of three made one, he again divided this whole into as many portions as was fitting, each portion being a compound of the same, the other, and the essence …”

DECODING and the PRIVATE

In the DAY I, the PUBLIC, left home, and I am meeting the others.

CODING and the PUBLIC

Oskar Schlemmer, Triadisches Ballett, 1922.

IV 11

I, part of the Western PUBLIC, follow my Western metaphors in three steps: LEAVING HOME, TALKING IN PUBLIC, COMING BACK HOME.

LEAVING HOME

12

V Peter Zumthor, Hjortshøj, Kolumba museum, 2007.

13

VI

Leaving home is like travelling to the edge of the world. Step by step I am leaving my PEOPLE and my things behind, I ENCODE them, give them NAMES, MEMORISE these things, fading away. All these things of where I am coming from. Like a stone dropped into the water. The wave spreading out and vanishing on the horizon.

14

15

ENCODING and the SACRED

This is me, at the edge of the world. A SACRED place. Embracing anything and everything forgotten in MEMORIES of the PAST.

Civic Architects, LocHal in Tilburg, 2019.

At this point of the future, at the edge of the world, myself forgotten in the memories of the past, with clear eyes towards the world, I am meeting the others. We stage our views, find a common language, and start to talk. This is smart, surprising, funny, weird … I never could imagine those twists and turns.

20

There is a lot to think and a lot to laugh about at the edge of the world.

21

And we try to find a CODE of what to do that fits us all.

SATIRE, RHETORIC. ICHNOGRAPHIA. BOOK VI.

TUNING I think of the LEAVING HOME, the TALKING IN PUBLIC, the COMING BACK HOME as TEMPERAMENTS. Wherever I am: every landscape, every city, every street, every building, every room, every place … there is a taste of them proportioned: the SACRED, the PUBLIC, and the PRIVATE.

33

Like the tuning of instruments in music: The Pythagorean school distinguished the 2 and the 3 as fundamental principles.

34

The powers of 2 were about the LINE, the EYE, the SAME, the ORTHOGRAPHIA in my metaphors.

V

32

VI

Both principles are INCOMMENSURABLE, and they constitute the RATIONAL world.

36

This is how they become multifaceted …

Heinrich Klaffs, Eberhard Weber, 1971.

VI

54

The actual music is played with frequencies of both: MAJOR and MINOR.

55

And I turn the circle to c-minor playing Bach 582, or to D-major playing Vivaldi 589 … to get music of different TEMPERAMENTS.

In architecture we know three classical orders: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.

57

58

I associate the DORIC order with major tuning, a ‘leaving home’, ENCODING, TRAGEDY.

60

Yes it is tragic, it is leaving everything behind in favour of these new LINES in SPACE.

61

DECODING and the PRIVATE

59

CODING and the PUBLIC

DORIC – 7th century BC mainland Greece – is of CIRCULAR LINES, GEOMETRY taking SPACE. This order is articulated by CHARACTERS.

ENCODING and the SACRED

CLASSICAL ORDER

56

62

IV IONIC – 6th century BC Asia Minor – is of LINEAR CIRCLES, ARITHMETIC giving TIME. This order is driven by NUMBERS.

64

I associate the IONIC order with minor tuning, DECODING, a ‘coming home’, SATIRE.

V

63

65

66

VI

CORINTHIAN – ~3th century BC Rome – I prefer to read this order as a PROPORTIONAL CONSTITUTION of DORIC and IONIC, as a ‘public talk’, CODING, COMEDY.

And I like to continue with my speculation with these symmetries, to enrich this unconventional perspective.

PREFACE

VI

This book is about the TRAGEDY of leaving all things behind, the temperament of going to the edge of the world. The sacrifice of what PEOPLE know if the PUBLIC is ‘leaving home’.

76

ENCODING and the SACRED

PREFACE

75

77

78

A lot of events, a lot of waves and a horizon, witnessing all of them.

79

The Big Bang at the beginning of time and the entropic horizon of thermal death at the end of time.

80

At this horizon I see nothing, because there is everything: white noise.

81

DECODING and the PRIVATE

Like throwing a stone into the water. Waves are spreading. They witness the past event.

CODING and the PUBLIC

A touch of the water surface spreads to the horizon. The horizon memorises the past looking at future touches.

82

IV

I want to name this movement, the sacrifice towards the entropic horizon, with the technical term: ENCODING.

84

It is not easy to affirm that ENCODING is a sacrifice. Current information techniques want to keep things as they are.

85

The pragmatic didactics of AI: How to ENCODE for example an image, process it with a neural network [CODING] and DECODE it, for example to a known concept.

86

Or Shannon’s scheme for technical COMMUNICATION, 1948: How to pack and protect a message [ENCODE], how to send it exposed to white noise [CODE], and how to receive and repair it [DECODE]. Every effort is made not to change anything.

87

ENCRYPTION tells a different story:

V

83

Take for example this image …

88

eastwood =

;

VI … take a partition of the entropic horizon as a key …

key = RandomInteger[1, {450, 600}];

89

… make an addition of the bits of image and key without a carryover [ENCODE] … crypt = Mod[eastwood + key, 2]

91 92

ENCODING and the SACRED

90

… and as a result the image has vanished, there is nothing to see. 93

The only way to get the image back is to add the key again [DECODE] … Mod[crypt + key,2]

94

^

95

CODING and the PUBLIC

White noise swallows up all data. No way to see anything at the horizon of everything.

… and here he is, Eastwood back on earth.

And of course the nothingness of everything can come back differently with a different key: Mod[crypt + key2,2]

96 97

David Bowie, 1976. Everything can turn into anything via the circular horizon.

DECODING and the PRIVATE

I have to be aware that the key has to be thought not as an image or an object, but as the route towards the horizon: 1 turn left, 0 turn right: if you know the way back, you get the image back.

98

IV Furoshiki wrappings and the celebration of the appearance of things. 99

ENCODING is a projection from the rational PLANE to the irrational CIRCLE or a sphere.

V

A CIRCLE is not an OBJECT, because it is irrational. A CIRCLE is not VISIBLE.

101

CODING takes place on a CIRCLE on an invisible domain. It is about TALKING.

102

DECODING is a projection back from the irrational CIRCLE to the rational and visible PLANE of objects.

103

In mathematics multiplication or the EXPONENTIAL projects from the plane to a circle. – stereographic projection – – encoding – encryption – Division or the LOGARITHM projects from the circle to the plane. – perspective projection – – decoding – decryption –

104

CODING takes place on the irrational domain. This is why everything can turn into anything. This is why ENCODING is a sacrifice, CODING a public talk, and DECODING satirical.

105

A complication which is hardly reflected and very unusual.

107

ENCODING and the SACRED CODING and the PUBLIC

I remember when I learned to ride a bike. Trying and trying, again and again … and suddenly I got it. I was riding! And I was fast, faster than ever before. I embodied everything needed, whatever it was. My body integrated riding. I changed. I became a rider.

108

DECODING and the PRIVATE

The Caryatid porch of the Erechtheion, ca. 410 BC.

Or the contrapposto : it is safe to think within the body of the  REAL  scalarity – engage leg – and complicated to learn to move within the body of the  COMPLEX  scalarity – balance the free leg.

110

This book explores the MECHANICS of the  COMPLEX  scalarity:

111

The reference is a COMPLEX plane with an IMAGINARY and a REAL axis, indexed with the PAST –R and the FUTURE R and the INSIDE –� and the OUTSIDE �.

115

The  MINOR  circle of  NUMBERS  … inside – future – outside – past – inside … with the chapters value – image – texture – grammar.

The LINE as a CONSTITUTION of a MECHANICS, the GRID as an CONSTRUCTION of a MACHINE.

249

The LINE can be seen as MOVEMENT in the AIR, the GRID as REPETITION on EARTH.

250

The VISUAL is LINEAR and directive, the AUDITIVE is CIRCULAR and omnidirective. 253

The AUDITIVE axis: the POINT and the PICTURE: The POINT is LISTENING to all DIRECTIONS, the PICTURE is ARTICULATING in all DIRECTIONS. The POINT hears the OMNIPRESENCE of all the things around, the PICTURE articulates the PRESENCE of the things around.

EPILOGUE ON COLOURS ON IMAGES ON DRAWINGS

This book is about the SACRIFICE of the REALITY at home.

 ENCODING  is about the  MAJOR  circle of  CHARACTERS  and the  MINOR  circle of  NUMBERS .

ENCODING itself is symbolised by CHARACTERS and at the same time symbolises all ENCODING.

405

Because of this self reference I cannot think of ENCODING as a  MACHINE  processing  OBJECTS .

I sacrifice my thinking in specification, in problems, in objects … There is the WORLD, there are the temperaments, there is ENCODING, there is me … and I tune into a body of thinking of a different scale.

DECODING and the PRIVATE

It is a mess back there in 1648. War at home. 30% killed. Everybody exhausted. I, the PUBLIC, leave this home, keeping it in my MEMORY. I join the others at court, this abstract place off reality. And I start to talk, to negotiate. In CODED forms, detached.  RATIONAL  not to have  REAL  fights at home.

CODING and the PUBLIC

Peter Greenaway, The Draughtsman’s Contract, 1982.

At the EDGE OF THE WORLD I SACRIFICED everything.

453

I look back and MEMORISE all FORMS and I KNOW all  STRUCTURES .  SPACE  and  TIME .

454

I symbolise  FORMS  – GEOMETRY  MAJOR  – and reason about  STRUCTURES  – LOGOS  MINOR  –

455

I prepare a stage for a  LIBERATED  talk to represent my interest as a symbolic  MEMORIAL .

456

This is how I understand for example the Baroque court: this is not for pleasure but an existential challenge.

457

Today PEOPLE say: this was a decadently luxurious elite at the 17th century court. I doubt it was fun.

465

DECODING and the PRIVATE

A lot of changes in PUBLIC, still a lot of trouble at HOME:

Yes,  PEOPLE  should complain about their condition.

467

Yet the  PUBLIC  cannot. Because, whatever it is, it is in charge.

468

It takes a lot of effort for the PUBLIC to  LIBERATE  from its PEOPLE.

469

Today’s struggles are analogous to the temperament of the 19th century called  THERMODYNAMICS , in physical terms.

470

With all good intentions PEOPLE at home learn, work, and perform. They continuously try to do better.

471

But there is no improvement without focus and exclusion. What is good at home is very often bad for the others.

472

Necessarily so. On a global scale nobody can improve by doing better.

473

The PUBLIC affirms this paradox as a  QUANTUM MECHANICAL  condition. It does not decide at home, it negotiates with the others.

474

At HOME  ECONOMY  shows HOW to DO things to be GOOD.

476

STRUCTURES emancipate from FORMS, FORMS liberate from STRUCTURES. As the CIVIL emancipates from the COMMON, the COMMON liberates from the CIVIL. As URBANISATION emancipates from the CITY, the CITY liberates from URBANISATION. As NUMBERS emancipate from CHARACTERS, CHARACTERS liberate from NUMBERS. As PROGRAMS emancipate from CODE, CODE liberates from PROGRAMS. …

477

Coming back HOME. I remember these words that made strong contracts. They show up in surprising propositions:

478

URBANISATION is about ECONOMY, NUMBERS and CONTROL. The CITY is of POLITICS.

479

EMANCIPATION frees from genealogical control, to explicate every control of spatial bounds.

480

LIBERATION frees from physical bounds to explicate any boundaries in the flow of time.

481

DECODING and the PRIVATE

At court in PUBLIC I listen to the play of these words: All these circulations, not to be wrong, embracing anything, deciding nothing:

CODING and the PUBLIC

475

ENCODING and the SACRED

In PUBLIC  POLITICS  asks WHAT to SAY not to be WRONG.

EMANCIPATION criticises the PURE RATIO and prioritises the VISUAL REALITY of IMAGES and CONTROL.

483

CHARACTERS play in the AUDITIVE realm. Their RATIO LIBERATES from the ‘mess’ of REALITY.

484

Today things at HOME have become super VISUAL, super controlled, and super powerful.

485

At first glance this is GOOD for the PEOPLE at home, but it gets increasingly toxic for the PUBLIC out there.

486

The VISUAL does not negotiate. Today the VISUAL conquers. In PUBLIC it is an impatient WAR MACHINE driven by NUMBERS and NECESSITIES.

487

Today’s ADMINISTRATIONS take CARE. They are GOOD to their PEOPLE. But their decisions follow NECESSITIES, they do not take RESPONSIBILITY.

488

They are GOOD, but not RIGHT. An excess of ECONOMY and a lack of POLITICS. Things run out of PROPORTION.

489

A PUBLIC LIBERATES from the overwhelming access of necessities implemented as URBANISM.

490

A PUBLIC talks about the CITY and negotiates in new CODES.

HEARING SPACE SEEING TIME The HUMAN PROPORTION

I, the PUBLIC, ENCODED my world in two circles: The circles of the DAY and the circles of the NIGHT, of  MAJOR  and  MINOR  …

711

I SIGNIFIED all things by SETS of NUMBERS and gave them NAMES, written in CHARACTERS.

712

The TALKS at the edge of the world have been with these SYMBOLIC NAMES, not with the things themselves.

713

DECODING, coming back, knows the same two circles: the  MAJOR  circle of the DAY of WHAT TO SAY at home, and the  MINOR  circle of the NIGHT on HOW TO DO things at home.

The Vitruvian Man recentres from the NAVEL – centre of the CIRCLE == LINEARITY – the natural CREATION to the SEX – centre of the SQUARE == CIRCULARITY – the engendering INTELLECT.

739

A PROPORTION is about squaring the circle not the square as a circle. A PROPORTION is not a GEOMETRIC ENTITY. It BRIDGES the GEOMETRIC and the HARMONIC.

On the  COMPLEX  scalarity of SPACE I find Le Corbusier’s Modulor.

ENCODING and the SACRED

I read the Vitruvian Man as a METHAPOR of the HUMAN PROPORTION BRIDGING SKY and EARTH on the  REAL  scalarity of SPACE.

Le Corbusier, Modulor (1942–1955).

The Modulor shows the SYNCHRONICITY of the SKY as a GRID on the COMPLEX scalaritiy according to the Archimedean spiral and the golden ratio.

749

750

DECODING and the PRIVATE

748

But I cannot find the INVARIANCE here, the COLOUR on the COMPLEX scalarity. The Modulor thinks the GRID as positive and GEOMETRIC. The Modulor is NOT a PROPORTION of CIRCLE and LINE.

752

Interestingly the Modulor is anchored to the INVARIANT NAVEL, not the SYNCHRONICITY of the SEX, which is simply missing.

753

The Modulor is not about the HUMAN PROPORTION it is about – as the name says – the MODULE, the BASE of a COLUMN, the INVARIANT OMNIPRESENCE of SPACE at the COMPLEX SCALARITY which I called the POINT.

1016

With the Greek temple I see the FACADE with my REAL and RATIONAL EYES. The CONSTITUTION cannot be explicated in EUCLIDEAN SPACE, it has to be IMAGINED in CARTESIAN SPACE.

If I look at the  FACADE  of the Palladian villa, this proposition still seems to fit. But there is an additional flavour, which I suggested to name with the term  CONSTITUTION .

ENCODING and the SACRED

I find this proposition: With these EYES I SEE the PRESENCE in LIGHT This sounds quite adequate.

1019

And I can go on like this with the COMPLEX scalarity: The Le Corbusier villa still seems to fit the proposition ‘the FACADE shows the PRESENCE in LIGHT’. But again it has an additional flavour, which has no established name yet, because it is the time of today. I would suggest to name it with the term  CODE .

Using the term CODE might be surprising here, but it came up for reasons of symmetry and gives me the next level of explication to the PRESENCE in LIGHT for the COMPLEX scalarity of SPACE.

2 With the Le Corbusier villa with COMPLEX EYES I expect to SEE CODE explicated.

1025

With the Palladian villa with COMPLEX EYES I expect to SEE implicit CODE.

1026

This contrast finds my attention. It especially implies: Masterpieces of 20th century architecture show up as CODE.

1027

In fact, nobody knows what CODE is. There is no definition of a concept which works satisfactorily, whatever people say.

1028

The suggested scheme of thinking about new terms to turn the table: As an architect I can find a lot of material to make friends with this complicated and powerful term named CODE.

1029

DECODING and the PRIVATE

1 I get an idea of how to think about CODE as an ARCHITECT: CODE is a CONSTITUTION, has a FACADE. CODE ARTICULATES a PRESENCE in LIGHT. Different from PROGRAMS, GRAMMARS, LANGUAGE, DATA … which can be seen with other EYES. With this architectural flavour I, the architect, can talk with other DOMAINS in PUBLIC.

CODING and the PUBLIC

1023

ENCODING and the SACRED

This is interesting in two directions:

Again: I am aware that this is not a THEORY, this is a TREATISE, a MECHANICS, an INSTRUMENT to THINK about ARCHITECTURE in today’s terms.

1031

It does not claim TRUTH, it is just fast, interesting, and claims to be COMPLETE. And of course this INSTRUMENT needs training to be tuned and played well.

1032

About ROTATION

1033

Giving credit to this instrument: its mechanics is of ROTATION.

IV

1034

1035

VI 1036

The CONSTITUTION of the Palladian villa seems to be established by a ROTATION of the FACADE of the Greek temple around the vertical AXIS.

1037

1038

I know this technique of ROTATION by the perspective drawing, I remember Alberti’s ‘la pictura ’ and ‘la statua ’: PRESENCE in LIGHT.

1039

Leon Battista Alberti, linear perspective as a technical sculpturing of ‘going around’, 1450. 1041

If the  CONSTITUTION  of the Renaissance can be read as a ROTATION of  EUCLIDEAN  space, I can read the  CODE  of today as a ROTATION of  CARTESIAN  space.

1042

DECODING and the PRIVATE

I suggest to read the technique of the perspective projection as a ROTATION of EUCLIDEAN space towards the scalarity of the CARTESIAN space, as a ROTATION of EUCLIDEAN LINES towards CARTESIAN rotated lines or PROPERTIES.

CODING and the PUBLIC

1040

ENCODING and the SACRED

If a  FACADE   is a PRESENCE in EUCLIDEAN SPACE, the  CONSTITUTION  ROTATES this SPACE to a PRESENCE in CARTESIAN SPACE.

IV

1043

And I can read the  FACADE  of the Greek temple as a ROTATION of an  unnamed  space which should have been constitutive for Egyptian and Babylonian architecture.

1044

All of them can be read as PRESENCE in SPACE or as ROTATIONAL SPACE, a LOCAL SUBJECTIVITY.

1045

1046

These arguments took place with the most obvious rotation around the z-axis. But they work also around the horizontal x- and y-axis.

V

1047

1048

In EUCLIDEAN space the platform and roof of the temple are articulated precisely.

1049

VI 1050

After a ROTATION there is much more differentiation and articulation in the Palladian villa, however you read it.

1051

The EUCLIDEAN and the CARTESIAN space are just different worlds, which cannot communicate in rational lines, but in irrational rotations.

1052

Given that reading, the CODE of the Le Corbusier villa is almost directly a spherical rotation of the Palladian CONSTITUTION.

1053

ENCODING and the SACRED

One has to be careful: this is not a line of progress, there is not more or less sophistication. It is just another SCALARITY of SPACE to be seen with different EYES.

1054

As we can compare the different temperaments of the CODE of Le Corbusier in 1931 and for example OMA in 2005.

1100

This book is about WHAT to SEE and SAY about ARCHITECTURE with the EYES of today.

1101

IV Peter Greenaway, Prospero’s Books, 5:38, 1991.

It introduces quite a complex scheme. It is important that it stays implicit for it should work beyond every specific style and it can be used in any characteristic way.

1103

It especially is not about problem and solution. Which is almost inverse to PARAMETRISM whose technological PRAGMATISM forces things towards looking all the same.

1104

It is MECHANICS around INVARIANCES abstracting from DIFFERENCES, giving stability in talking about architecture without constraining it.

1105

The terms introduced and the mechanics used are not fully developed by far. But they are powerful and stable.

1106

It is intentionally designed like a PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE which is detached from everything, to be open to CODE anything.

1107

And it should be learnt like a programming language. It needs repetition, patience, and an actual context to practice.

V

1102

VI

1109

The mathematics and the mechanics are meant to stay the same, the terms and metaphors will develop differently.

1110

It also has a deep integration of computational terms and techniques, for the CODE can be evaluated in line with today’s techniques.

1111

There have been a few examples of what to see and talk about as an architect and what to learn from the old masters on today’s COMPLEX scalarity.

1112

To give more examples in all directions would be exhausting to read. This text is meant to motivate you to continue like this in your own terms.

1113

The questions of the practical HOW to do things today will be explicated in Books VII–X: artificial intelligence, natural communication, digital articulation, and cultural heritage.

1114

.

No need to remind us again, that the terms and metaphors used are a continental Western rendering and can be read as examples for other cultures.
