the loop of facts
HOLODECK.at projects are marked by loop-shaped sequences, foldings continuously shifting out of the site into buildings' envelopes, tossing themselves up, and turning and sliding back into the terrain. loop and folding figures have been included in the hot spots of architectural debate since the 90s. decades ago, reinforced-concrete engineering had superseded the old tectonics of supporting and supported members. now, the issue of continuous spatial articulations, "freed" of the axis of gravity, was introduced into a novel dimension by the development of synthetic materials, of bearing membranes and of the emergence of complex cad programs.

for HOLODECK.at, the spatial loop is no mere formal pattern. rather, a critical mass – then leading to a turnover, a loop of empiricism into a new quality – develops in their projects from the collection and overlapping of empirical data. but of course, conventional as-built analysis is insufficient for such a conceptual turnover – "transprogramming", in bernard tschumi's words. specific methods must already be applied in the investigative phase in order to force open linear or monocausal lines of argumentation and to bring a given situation's concealed potentials to light. in urbanistic designs, HOLODECK.at's investigations are thus sharpened by observing and evaluating the established facts with new conceptual frames, supplemented by references to external observers who query and reassess the statistically gathered data with their own subjective diagrams.
