This book shifts the frame of reference for today's network- and
structure oriented discussions from the applied computational tools
of the 20th century back to the abstractness of 19th century
mathematics. It re-reads George Boole, Richard Dedekind, Hermann
Grassmann and Bernhard Riemann in a surprising manner.
EigenArchitecture argues for a literacy of the digital, displacing
the role of geometrical craftsmanship. Thus, architecture can be
liberated from today's economical, technocratic and bureaucratic
straight jackets: from physicalistic optimization, sociological
balancing, and ideological naturalizations. The book comprises a
programmatic text on the role of technology in architecture, a
philosophical text on the generic and on algebraic articulation,
and six exemplary projects by postgraduate students in 2012 at the
Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design at ETH Zurich,
Switzerland.
