NOTES ON ARCHITECTURE

1: 20. short video.

From Susan Sontag’s famous essay, “Notes on Camp”, I re-appropriated the writing into a manifesto to re-define, re-understand, and sketch my notes on, ARCHITECTURE.

Simply a fun word game/experiment.

Topography of Typography

  1. The words on the printed page are seen, not heard.

  2. Through conventional word you get concepts across.

  3. The economy of expression: optics instead of phonetics.

  4. The organization of the space of the book through the material of the sentence according to the law of typographical technique must correspond to the pressures and tensions of the content.

  5. The organization of the space of the book by the illustrations that realize the new optics. The supernaturalist reality of the perfect eye.

  6. The continual sequence of pages—the bioscopic book.

  7. The new book requires the new writer. Inkwells and goosequills are dead.

  8. The printed page goes past space and time. Printed notebooks, this immensity of print, must give way.

THE ELECTRIC LIBRARY.

— El Lissitzky, 1923
