This collection of aphorisms by Sauter von Moos is an inevitably fragmentary attempt to investigate architecture’s status quo from both within and without; in other words, it stems from both the world of making and the world of thinking about buildings today. Looking at an undefined phenomenon in motion, it is naturally hypothetical and suggestive, but also neither a defense nor an explanation of the architects’ work - on the contrary, it is an elaborate effort to avoid a position of lucidity that could be read as a dogma. At best, the reflections presented add up to an allembracing philosophy of design, a portable piece of thought, which reflects on architecture in a non-linear way through the lens of six loosely related terms: presence, surrealism, archaism, freedom, loss, and space-time.
