What is the Office for Presencing Architecture about?
The Office for Presencing Architecture is centred on evolving how we prepare environments that presence architecture. It is orientated to the practicing architectural professional, but OPA also responds to everyone who has interest in 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? Architecture remains a great accomplishment of humane gathered our capacity. It is much rarer than we like to think, and it is much more important that its current profession can express.
The Office for Presencing Architecture is about architectural practice as
stewardship of the world and integrating human/e value within nature.
The Office for Presencing Architecture is about
architecture’s original ground, and its sibling twin – spirituality, and
architecture as practice and as profession.
The organization of this Substack is in two parts right now.
One is the series of articles G¡a, based on the doctoral research for The Goal in Architecture. The mutual claiming of one another of spirituality and architecture at the Akadenie der bildenden Künste Wien. That would be
theory, but architecture is never theoretical. It is experienced.
I am introducing approaches and general topics about how architecture presences in reference to current issues and changing the profession.
I continue to publishing G¡a, currently updating and republishing the first 20 or so articles, and then continuing on to publish the rest. These articles are written as 2000 — 3000 word episodes. Each publication will be free for a fortnight. A paid subscription will allow you to read it like a book.
Articles on current events are focused on Canada’s architectural culture and the profession.
