There is a value of The Uncertain; the possibilities inherent within those things that elude the strictly definable and the rational.

Eschewing the idea of the slick, the finished and ‘the true’ in favour of the intangible, the speculative and the in-between, the essay looks at philosophical concepts of The Determinate vs The Indeterminate. Relating these back to an architectural practice, the text examines ways of operating that actively incorporate chance and unpredictably. Those Modi Operandi favour process and investigation to outcome, in order to create an approach that subverts an often formulaic and soulless rendered present.

With sources deliberately choosen outside the profession, strategies and inspirtaions from the field of music, poetry and product design are assemblaged in the essay. Stylistically, a main text is accompanied by extensive notes in the margins that allow the reader to dive deeper into certain topics or to digress from the initial narrative altogether.
