I have
been invited by Tine Noergaard, Assoc. Professor & Architect to present a
lecture within the context of a seminar programme Critical Written
Reflection at the Aarhus School of Architecture
15 April 2015
Aarhus
School of Architecture
Arkitektskolen
Aarhus, Denmark
My
lecture will build on a previous presentation delivered last year within the
School of Architecture, entitled On Not Knowing: Writing in Dialogue with,
Parallel to and as Practice. Specifically, I want to use this presentation
to reflect on my own relation to writing and its emergence, focusing on those
forms of written expression where the content or ideas within are not already
known or pre-determined in advance, but rather emerge live or synchronous to
the situation that they seek to articulate or give expression to, moreover,
through a practical working-with of
language itself. The lecture will touch on various concerns: on the importance
of not knowing and uncertainty within creative practice; on the potentiality of
the fragment, distillation and extraction; on poetic language as a mode of
thinking with-and-through or for articulation without direct
explication; on writing as both a material and temporal practice.
