Event – Invisible Architectures Symposium – Whitechapel Gallery
Index, diagram, trace
Found an interesting bunch of papers in Tate papers No18 about the relationship between trace, diagrams and the index. Will use this material in the revised project proposal, which I think is going to be part text – part diagram.

Desiring Diagrams

“In the course of Time, these Extensive maps were found somehow wanting, and so the College of Cartographers evolved a Map of the Empire that was of the same Scale as the Empire and that coincided with it point for point.”
-Jorge Luis Borges, “Del Rigor en la Ciencia”, 1946.
Could be best thing about this paper is this quote but I like the link between situationist cartography, and Deleuzian diagrams.
Systems

Looking at diagrams I’ve realised I need to read around systems as well. Now have this book from the library.

going to look into the architectural aspects of diagrams and this is a good place to start.
This could be a detourned project plan. Going to use a diagram to illustrate project relationships and flow between different aspects.
Diagrams of Utopia, Diagrams of Diagrams

Diagrams of utopia is the most relevant. Chapter from a book on New Babylon which I read earlier but didn’t appreciate the use of diagrams at the time.
This is a pointer to the relationship between models and diagrams that I want to bring out now in the project proposal – broadening the scope from models to an ecology of media around them.
