Great talk "We The Bacteria, Notes Toward Biotic Architecture" by Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley at CIVA in Brussels. Thinking of architecture as our expanded (and common) gut. Pictured is the sink in the entrance of Le Corbusiers Villa Savoye, one of their many illustrations of modernist architecture as anti-biotic.

"In an attempt to grasp and reckon with the historical moment that he was living in, #CharlesJencks, the legendary father of #postmodernism, developed Evolutionary Tree drawings. These #drawings, which are somewhere between a #diagram and a #map, laid out six ideologies that allowed him to categorize all the “-isms” of present, past, and future architectural culture.
"The exhibition #Chronograms of #Architecture showcases Jencks’ key diagrams, spanning from 1920 to 2000, along with eight newly commissioned diagrams by 8 teams of contemporary architects, researchers and graphic designers, reflecting on the historical moment that we live in today."
