From the early 20th century onwards, many architects embraced the industrial object afforded by mechanization and industrial production to advance new theories for architecture. From designing objects for mass production, to promoting the modes of industrial production that produced objects; from callings to select and prescribe objects, to deploying objects for spatial generation, architects developed concepts
through and around
the object—e.g., expression, type, function, juxtaposition, standards and type-needs etc.—to re-imagine alternative ways to inhabit the world. Engaging with the industrial object meant redefining the nature of architecture itself.
How,
specifically
, have architects engaged with industrial objects?
To answer this question, please answer
one
of the questions below. Successful essays will select 2–3 architects/ examples from those we have discussed in class, carefully define architects’ attitudes toward the object, and convincingly argue how specific attributes of objects—form, material, composition, scale etc.,—were used to advance an idea about architecture, diverging from the past.
1. What role has “function” played in architect-
design
ed objects?
2. How and why did the mechanized
production of objects
serve as an analogy for architecture? 3. In what ways have architects
deployed objects
in space and why?
