Beschreibung

The calculus of design is a diagrammatic approach towards the relationship between design and insight. The thesis is that insights are not discovered, gained, explored, revealed, or mined, but are operatively de–signed. The de in design neglects the contingency of the space towards the sign. The – is the drawing of a distinction within the operation. Space collapses through the negativity of the sign; the command draws a distinction that neglects the space for the form's sake. The operation to de–sign is counterintuitively not the creation of signs, but their removal, the exclusion of possible sign propositions of space. De–sign is thus an act of exclusion; the possibilities of space are crossed into form.
