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 endeavor. The
dominant architectures in our 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 endeavor.
Easterling also makes the case that these organizational formats
are improvisational 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.
