ABSTRACT
As regards the architectonic regulation of flows, by way of conclusion, one might take the opportunity to engage again with the representation of such architectonic forms and the issue of abstraction, particularly as it concerns new technologies and new ways of circulating and iterating architectural forms and their flows. Architectural models can at once locate and house ancestors so that they become portable or, as in the case of the Carib hut, serve as ciphers to create wider forms of sociality, such as those evinced by the nineteenth-century Euro-American notion of the psychic unity of man. Various material registers facilitate technologies of presence in relation to architectural form in both extensive and intensive manners that a strict preoccupation with architectural form per se would obscure. The object of destruction and its rearticulation is the common object of a conflicted commitment—an object that is produced and sustained within this conflicted commitment and its generative force.
