The authorship of the architectural work seems to get increasingly dispersed and blurred – not only by the direct use of and reliance on expert systems (see Anthony Giddens) embedded in the new (software) tools of the architect but also due to the fact that creation or genesis increasingly takes place in subsystems – physical as well as processual - that interface in the final physical result. The building can be perceived as a node in a network connecting different systems. This physical architectural manifestation is perhaps theoretically conceived by one or a team of architects but in reality there is no way such an entity could possibly (on its own) synthesize the actual complexity of a present design problem (a.o. Christopher Alexander Notes on the Synthesis of Form). Only few disciplines today, counting e.g. film making and architecture, maintain tenaciously the illusion of the auteur as an identifiable subject. The auteur is dead. Buildings and architecture are nodes in a network created by increasingly complex networks of subjects and matter. /KSV’10
