A study of the role of accident and chance in shaping the American environment. By showing the reciprocal relations between systems of thinking and modes of designing, the book establishes unexpected congruencies between natural and built environments, and virtual and physical systems.
The dominant architectures in out culture of development consist of generic protocols for building offices, airports, houses and highways. For Keller Easterling these organizational formats are not merely the context of design efforts - they are the design. Bridging the gap between architecture and infrastructure, Easterling views architecture as part of an ecology of interrelationships and linkages, and she treats the expression of organizational character as part of the architectural endeavour. Easterling also makes the case that these organizational formats are improvizational and responsive to circumstantial change, to mistakes, anomalies and seemingly illogical market forces. By treating these irregularities opportunistically, she offers architects working within the customary development protocols new sites for making and altering space. By showing the reciprocal relations between systems of thinking and modes of designing, Easterling establishes unexpected congruencies between natural and built environments, virtual and physical systems, highway and communication networks, and corporate and spatial organizations.
She frames her unconventional notion of site not in terms of singular entities, but in terms of relationships between multiple sites that are both individually and collectively adjustable.
