Archiblog's Ordering
• Double page spread introducing 'Edukit: World Educational System' in AD by Norman Fellows Archiblog [1]
‘Designing Buildings’ features an article entitled ‘Anticipatory Design‘ by Norman Fellows under the pseudonym of “Archiblog”. The author’s website dovetails his office jobs with those Cedric Price (CP) was engaged with and includes a reference to what CP called ‘anticipatory design’:—
“To establish a valid equation between contemporary aspirations and architecture it is essential to add to the latter doubt, delight and change as design criteria. Architecture is slow and therefore anticipatory design is required.”
- Cedric Price (1996) ‘Anticipating the unexpected’, Architects’ Journal, 5 September
Thus this article by Norman Fellows takes the 1996 quote as a starting point in order to enable others to match their orderings against an anticipatory design, namely, ‘Archiblog’s Ordering’.
