The article, Rappel A L'Ordre, The Case for the Tectonic by Kenneth Frampton explains to the reader the modern view of the word tectonics. He exemplifies how the idea of tectonics is used both in construction technology and throughout the design process. Tectonics is both directly shown in construction details and the overall composition of the design. He also disagrees with Robert Venturi's idea of a decorated shed. Later he spoke on the subject on cubism in the 20th century; the ideas explore an intro into man's spiritual gravity. Tectonics is a way design can be reflected in a tactile physical environment, to express a center of gravity to the commodity of shelter. Declaring tectonics should be stylistic, not seeking factual evidence in science, literature, or art. Identifying the tectonic poetry and construction of the building can be reflected by materiality, structure, and natural light. Tectonics can be treated as a bridge between conceptualization and realization. He is Taking an original idea as thought, creating in an environment that one can touch and feel. Tectonics is both caused and impacted by three conditions: technological object, stenographic object, and tectonic
object. Reconnecting architecture to the visual arts creates an embodiment of culture, philosophy, and art. I appreciated this article because of its recognition of what goes unsaid in architecture. Instead of trying to support all design
principles by factual evidence, there is also another factor of design that is displayed by one's center of gravity. I believe this ideal is what shapes the human experience and interaction with architecture. The expression of
architecture can be experienced through a point of view and also from a two-dimensional drawing explaining the tectonic details of connections.
