By promiscuously mixing the canonical work of the past five centuries, iaha! declares an ethics of extemporaneous navigation of the historical sea of architecture, greedily overloading the canon without honoring its orthodoxy, and thus opening a hypercultural spectrum of forms and implications, propagating new veins of genius, and constituting new forms of sense.
Using as data base the most manifest canonical work of the 100 most influential architects of the past five centuries, iaha! attentively but lightly navigates the historical sea of architecture, absorbing potentials in a thinking-by-mixing process that neither pleads nor crashes orthodoxy, rather playing seriously through loose meanings, unnerving senses, and radical implications.
Swiftly, artificial intelligence has become public matter, generating a commotion that will take the form of a new naturalization of technology, rapidly turned into a common resource, an ever more fluid kind of whateverness. Yet rather than confronting this nonsensicality with fear or fascination, iaha! investigates its unprecedented capability to produce instantaneous architecture culture.
