Lars Spuybroek, architect and theorist originally from Rotterdam in the Netherlands (Baltimore's sister city) speaks at Maryland Institute College of Art; lecture is titled "The Digital Nature of Gothic." Lars Spuybroek argues that digital architecture is far removed from infinitely malleable forms as we find in the stucco world of the Baroque, and in fact deeply related to the woven, interlaced networks of the Gothic. This notion of craft is one that nestles itself in design; a form of design that is material, flexible and always leading to pattern where we can’t exactly distinguish between ornament and structure. Spybroek is author of The Sympathy of Things: Ruskin and the Ecology of Design.
