Abstract

This essay examines statements from the fields of architecture and philosophy concerning identity, difference, and change. Through close reading, etymological analysis, a hermeneutics of entanglement, and an investigation of the text-as-echo-chamber, initially parallel statements and restatements of architecture and philosophy (and architecture in philosophy and philosophy in architecture) “swerve.” Of special interest is the way both disciplines distinguish between (and conflate) the concepts of “difference” and “change,” as well as attempts to locate architecture’s origins in either change or the unchanging.
