EXCESSIVE focuses on strategies of architectural
design. Many of the ambitions revolve around the topic of excess as a
redefinition of beautiful lust and—misfit aesthetics of exuberance and
sophisticated conditions of arousal. If design is typically derived from an
expertise related to form and proportion, a theory of mutation is possibly an
advanced critical stance toward formal traditions. A theory of excessive form
is not a rejection of the formal traditions but an extension of them. Further,
navigation through the topologies of excessive form can be understood as an
intensification of more traditional formal strategies.
