EXP3: FINAL SUBMISSION

"A RATIONAL IRRATIONALITY"
My proposed theory derived from a mashup of three articles:
1. George H. Marcus, Le Corbusier: Inside the Machine for Living (New York: The Monacelli Press, Inc, 2000), 30.
2. Andrew Benjamin, "The Standards of the Non Standard," Architectural Review Australia, 2000-2003, AR087. 
3. Kate Nesbitt, Theorising a New Agenda for Architecture: an Anthology of Architectural Theory 1965-95) (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, date not specified)


Implicating that the architectural features should act as acelebration of the structural frame, Le Corbusier's  "Machine for Living" paradigm idealises that "One of the most important concerns of modern architecture is to determind precisely the function of the materials (Le Corbusier)"This utilitarian approach is contradicted by Eisenmann who critiques the traditional opposition between the qualities of the good, the rational, and true, and of the terrifying sublime (the unnatural and unpresent).

While indeed, Architecture must displace the former ways of conceptualizing itself,” andrequires a more complex form of the beautiful, one which contains he ugly, or a rationality that contains the irrational.  a continuity or a confluence between mathematics and matter is capable of overcoming the separation between form and function wherein replacing the opposition is an approach delimited by "morphogenesis" proposed by mathematician Abraham robinson.Accordingly, the University located between two factions of the valley will demarcate the rational, but through a controlled ravelling and unravelling of program and structure that differentiates between, yet unites, the various meeting, circulation, and teaching and learning spaces. Such is my theory of the "rational irrationality".
