In the last post I discussed the idea of "smooth programming", based on Deleuze & Guattari's writings in Mille Plateaus where they distinguish between two types of space: smooth space and striated space.
I came across the website of architect Christian Hubert, where he has this great image of smooth v's striated space, as well as a nice list of oppositions:
- felt / woven fabric
- non-metric / metric multiplicities ( Pierre Boulez)
- primacy of the line (vector) / primacy of the point
- Riemann space / Euclidean space
- becoming / progress
- "free action"(or play?) / work
- haptic / optic ( is perspective a model of striation?)
- local / global (?)
- reading / writing? (De Certeau)
- quality / quantity?
According to Deleuze and Guattari, smooth space is occupied by intensities and events. It is haptic rather than optic, a vectorial space rather than a metrical one. Smooth space is characteristic of sea, steppe, ice and desert. It is occupied by packs and nomads.
For more of Hubert's writings and 'note takings' (on, it looks like, just about any theoretic topic of interest to artists or architects) visit his site.
