Weekend Reading: Diagrams, Federico Soriano

// may 18, 2013 // **Weekend Reading excerpt:
“…A diagram today is architecture. It is not a scheme, a simplification, nor a preparatory drawing to be translated into a language or specific discipline. It is directly space, form, and the material of construction. The diagram is a direct voice, synthetic word, without language, metaphor or structures of profound thoughts. It is the marrow of form and content, a node of information. The diagram always works, at least partially through time. It defines from through procedures or actions. Not imaginary, the diagram is specific and concrete; like an algorithmic graph, it is complex and complicated. The diagram is a mechanism of the intellect as much as the final image of architecture. It tends towards abstraction, for direct performance between thought and making, causing the time of conception to coincide with the moment of construction.”
-Federico Soriano.

**Lectura de fin de semana, extracto:
“…Un diagrama hoy es arquitectura. No es un esquema, una simplificación, un dibujo preparatorio que necesita ser traducido a un lenguaje o a una disciplina especifica. Directamente es el espacio, la forma, el material que lo construye. Son voces directas, palabras sintéticas, sin lenguaje, ni metáforas, ni estructuras de pensamiento profundas. Son tuétanos de forma o de contenido. Son nudos de información. Uno de sus constituyentes siempre es el tiempo. Definen la forma mediante procedimientos o acciones. No son irreales sino precisos y concretos. Son algoritmos gráficos. Son sintetizaciones y no reducciones. Son complejos y complicados. Son mecanismos de intelecto como imagen final de la arquitectura. El diagrama aboga por la ejecución directa entre pensamiento y ejecución. Hace coincidir el tiempo de la concepción con el momento de construcción.”
-Federico Soriano.
