Abstract

For Shaun Murray – an architect and architectural teacher at the Architectural Association and University of Greenwich – the design of architecture is more than the deployment of discrete objects in space. Rather, it is the marshalling and bottom‐up choreography of highly complex spacetime entities that are both organic and inorganic. So objects become ‘things’ of indeterminate duration, highly networked, always reconfiguring and morphing. Murray has developed notations and drafting techniques that facilitate his understanding of architectural space and which he uses in his experimental practice – ENIAtype, based in London.
