The Electroliquid Aggregation:

“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”

Lars Spuybroek, [1998] Motor Geometry, Architectural Design, Vol 68 No 5/6, p5

Original Concepts:

Mies van der Rohe - Limitation of excess to emphasise open spaces

Nathalie de Vries - Creating a shared circulation to integrate the community

Electroliquid Aggregation:

Van der Rohe's key premise, the limitation of unnecessary forms, emphasises open spaces and de Vries' need for a shared circulation integrates the community, as such, in combining these two concepts as an electroliquid aggregation we create a space that while open also creates specific circulations within the plan of the the structure, encouraging a communion of ideas through the individuals using it.

Using emphasised open spaces and the limitation of unnecessary forms create a shared circulation which, in turn, is a forum for social interaction.
