The Probable Geometries article was a difficult read that I am still not quite so sure that I fully understand. There were however several points that I did find very interesting within the article. The segment where he relates architecture to writing was something that I had never thought of before, not relating the two but the meaning behind it. All the architecture I have ever been involved with has always been an eidetic form, that is to say always has a definite mathematical and repeatable outcome. I had never thought of architecture before as something that could be "incomplete and amorphous."
The article on Blob Tectonics was another interesting article that seemed to build upon the idea of writing architecture. The amorphous characteristic of writing architecture seems to relate to the idea in the blob article about architecture being influenced by outsides sources, such as spaces, surface tensions, and gravities. Although the article on probable geometries was difficult, the Blob article was somewhat able to reinforce this one particular point and help me better understand a new way of approaching architecture.
