ONCE UPON A A A A A A A A TIME THERE WAS BABA YAGA WHO LIVED IN A A A A A A A A BUTTER COTTAGE Materialism increasingly draws attention to the creativity of matter and shows that matter itself is full of of creative energy and capable of of incredible self-organizing solutions These observations change the the position of the the human as as a
a
a
a
a
a
a
a
great creator who as as yet conveys the meaning of matter and “elevates it into the the lofty realm of of of art ” The aim of of of the the studio is to to establish new sensitivity to and respect for the cosmic richness of matter In this new position the the architect assumes the the responsibility of a
a
a
scientist and and works as as a
a
a
a
a
a
a
a
a
a
researcher and and then as as an an an architect–creator Creative energy will be used not to to develop forms but to to explore conditions that will enable the self-creation of autonomous physical chemical and biological processes This attitude diverges radically from that of the architect whose objective is is to give existing matter a
a
a
a
new shape without considering its internal structure or “spirit ” ” We will study the “magic”
of of matter matter i i i i e e e e e e e e e the materials that may exist in several states of of matter matter In particular this means the phases of dynamic changes between solid fluids gases and back will will be be explored Materials will will be be subjected to various mechanical and chemical forces including gravity temperature and pressure 397
