What is the Office for Presencing Architecture about?
The Office for Presencing Architecture is centred on evolving how we prepare environments that presences architecture. What would the ubiquitous presence of architecture mean for our lives and for our responsibility to the world and the welfare of life on earth? How does this stem from human consciousness and its purpose?
The Office for Presencing Architecture combines
stewardship of the world and how to integrate that in our responsibility,
architecture’s original ground, and its sibling twin – spirituality,
architecture as practice and as profession.
This Office is a project toward developing communication and a community around making environments. You should subscribe if you are interested in developing community around this body of issues.
I am organizing the areas that I foresee writing about. These have changed a couple times so far. I have had one that is about introducing approaches and general topics that allow me to express Architecture Presencing, and its relationship to Technology, Building, Spirituality, Traditional Knowledge and changes to the Profession. In short, this would be theory. Architecture is never theoretical. This is designated ‘A-##.##’ for Adventure.
There is a group designated CS, for Case Study, which discuss existing places and projects, as well as projects that I do express and develop on this expression of OPA.
Practice (P-##) will be to discuss issues to do with the practice of providing for architecture; about practice. This is issues around practicing the creation and realization of actual places, which I and covers how the intents as well as conceptual aspects in Adventure influence practice, or how practice is re-considered.
Adventure is always public. Case Study (CS-##) and Practice (P-##) are still public now, and will later be partially or only for subscribers. I will add more later. 20240822
