Prelude -- Drawing order in/and disarray -- Pole dance -- It's about time all over again -- Learning curves -- The end of fictionalism -- Frames, edges, thresholds -- Awareness machine -- Work spheres -- Cocooning -- Kukje nebula macula -- Aura and amplification -- Neuroforms -- Fata morgana -- A dirtier truth -- Coda.This book introduces an attitude towards the design and realization of architecture in a time of increased instability. It is illustrated with rarely seen images and punctuated with essays on the work of the firm SO-IL. Rather than a catalog of works, the book is a visual and textual manifesto towards progressive practice in an interconnected and global environment. As a collection of built and unbuilt projects, texts, processes, and experiments, it embodies an intellectual and artistic attitude that has gained this young office attention. Taking the form of a radical monograph, the book curates the firm's content based on conceptual themes, allowing the reader to have a generous, multi-dimensional and immersive experience, similar to how one would experience SO-IL's architecture.
