"Architectural Curvilinearity , Greg Lynn's keynote essay in AD Profile 102, Folding in Architecture, heralds the age of round shapes and smooth, intricate surfaces that flourished during the second half of the 1990s and that to this day are seen as the most visible expression of digital making in architecture. Lynn's theory of curvilinearity emerges from the internal and autonomous discourse of architectural theory itself. Lynn's essay highlights that Deconstructivism theorised the world as a site of differences in order that architecture could represent these contradictions in form. Possibly the first instance of digital mass-customisation in design theory, Lynn's brief presentation of Shoei Yoh's roof for a sports hall at Odawara, Japan is a prescient anticipation of the formal and tectonic potentials of a non-standard space-frame truss. Lynn explains that the variations in the production of the structural components are made possible by the computerisation of design, construction and fabrication processes . Size: 10"x12".
