Typological Indetermimacy
This essay’s ambition is to trace the emergence of indeterminacy as flexibility and its application derived from its multiple interpretations and its later development into a universal condition. Universal indeterminacy is evaluated in terms of its built finite examples and theoretical infinite exponent. As a typological organisation that favoured certain building types and had strong affiliation with the modernist’s ideal of designing the new city, indeterminate flexibility achieved a state of pervasiveness that contributed to its severing to any building type in particular and reached a state of autonomy that challenged its position as a response to the condition of the city and becomes its entire reproduction and definition of the city in itself.
