hello,
during a discussion about Latour’s “Why Has Critique Run Out of Steam?” and Whiting/Somol’s “Notes around the Doppler Effect and other Moods of Modernism” the question arised what happens after critique and can a projective approach be the “next big thing”.
So I am really interested in your opinions and what do you think about the attempt to find such a projective approach in the work of e.g. koolhaas, eisenman, hadid or whomsoever?

as someone who doesnt know much i could only suggest that part of a “projective project” is inherent to the way the architectural practice establishes itself. Take Koolhaas vs Eisenman- OMA has a research branch as a separate entity, AMO. It has numerous spin-off firms (REX et al) who it then out-sources work to. Eisenman is eisenman, his firm, work, books etc all falls under a very traditional method.
