Architecture of the built environment (and reality in general) is overwhelmingly ordinary. This ordinariness is represented through a range of architectural expressions: the generic, the copy, the perfunctory, the banal, the useful, the bare logics of capitalism, etc. Arguably some of the stranger and more compelling recent forms of visual expression exist much more closely to the ordinary and the everyday then the extraordinary. This is the territory of deep fakes, mis-readings/understandings of physics/composition, and even AI “hallucinations”.
