What if computation could offer us a look at the spaces that are conceivable but not yet imaginable: computed as pure information topologies.

In a double reflection between quotes, taken from his writings, a mediating character, and quotes of "corresponding aliens", a fictional conversation emerges, going through the steps of claiming position, the system on a circle, the system on a line and the law behind things, attached to the mathematic-functional Materialism, which signifies Gottfried Semper`s approach to architecture in particular.

What if computation could offer us a look at the spaces that are conceivable but not yet imaginable: computed as pure information topologies. Metrical space, especially geometrical space could then be rendered into this relational framework. Life-Design of urban society has changed during the last decades. New media have entered our perception to a degree never imagined by future sciences of the past. So the question if space-time can still be considered as a single layer in reality arises in philosophy, physics... and Architecture? And for urban society? Individualization takes command. Being special becomes normality. Programs inhabit spatialities, people work and dwell and make company in short, due to increasing nomadism and fluctuation. Three protagonists are sent in for discussion. Alberti, who is deemed to have created the modern image of 'the Architect', Ledoux, who might best be described as a cultural engineer, preceded shape and transformation grammars and Habraken who reminds us that the ordinary may create spaces far more appropriated than any Architect will ever be able to invent. The question arises if contemporary conceptions of space are still appropriate, whether stacking and adding single use areas in uniform grammars can still be the answer. Maybe the everyday use of space already does find answers Architecture did not yet take into account.

Partly derived from Mario Carpo's english translation, with few corrections from the Latin original.

Hjelmslev's text is very technical and at first glance self-contradictory, unless the point of view 'immanent algebra' is fully comprehended. And also, as it was written in 1946, really more than half a century ahead of time.
