It is a technological means of architecture that shatters more of architectural practice and the profession. How is it then that Bigness is not architecture and deies a simple rejection of architecture? Bigness enters an amoral domain through extensiveness that lacks inclusiveness. They leave behind the relected aspiration of the modiied Mind that chooses, which in choosing may ind a human e way.
Yet, the attainment of Bigness is desire manifest. Bigness is wealth of power become power of wealth. This quote is from his very well known essay Form and Design. Koolhaas returns repeatedly to the problem of banality and the amoral evil. How does Bigness then signal the answers in the questioning it poses? Bigness can not escape involvement in the transformational evolution of spirituality because architectural presencing is that same questioning destining which subverts the no-longer thought as its self-eliminative means for freedom.
This is great relief, for matter how we resist, eventually we will no longer fail. That which became inverted through coveting things made as we see it now —sublimity— became the grounds for the architecture—monumentality.
Bigness mimicks the ininite in an exhilarating yet pitiful surge. In that surge Bigness brings us one step nearer the space of differentiation of aspiration or upasana, and the willed superordinate programme that we call architecture. Things, or a stage of thingness, becomes small. It is power and orders of magnitude of architecture, yet the same issues that are again clariied as insigniicant.
Against architecture, Bigness is a nearly incidental incremental step. Even if it is of an order of magnitude of appropriation greater than ever, it pales in the face of ininity— or nothingness. Bigness demands that the sense of it all be found again in architecture as presenced with the riddle that again tests us; that itch for attainment of our personal capacity to constantly learn to dwell anew.
Some of us prepare the world for that: we are called architects. Ok, it is not a real mea culpa, since we knew from the start that the infection has to run its long course. Bigness in interval that quantiies the progress of architecture. Bigness is false like a iction. It is true like a iction. As technology nears completion, the disjunction of the means and modes of architectural practice conceal the superordinate programme architecture.
Not all can be Enframed; not the immeasurable, not nothingness. These ill being human and not all of a fulilled human has place in the constellation of Bigness. This much is now obvious. Bigness reminds us of architecture in the injurious technicist play. Bigness marks architectural practice brought to the edge of viability, but where the questioning aspiration of what is absent again brings architecture adjacent. Bigness must retain that essence of differentiation but it is also its denial.
Architecture, within which Bigness can only be a contextualizing interval, is so much bigger. Bibliography Acharya. Prasana Kumar Acharya, Vol.
