Incongruity which is a requirement to maintain yet subvert received data, and finally, intensive coherence being the implication that the properties of certain monolithic relationships enable the architecture to enter into multiple and even contradictory relationships. Pointing which states that architecture must be projective, it must point to a new emergence of social arrangements. Blankness means to extrapolate the modernist project of formal abstraction understood as the suppression or reference through the erasure of decoration.
Kipnis closes his article by summarizing what he believes to be 5 principals that could or should be adhered to when attempting to realize a New Architecture, they are: Vastness means seeking sufficient spatial extension to preclude the inscription of traditional, hierarchical spatial patterns, which would create a free plan to include disjunction and discontinuity an emphasize the free use of residual and interstitial spaces. Kipnis naturally finds this last point impossible and points to the study of biology and morphogenesis in application to architecture as an example. Modernism sought to erase our connection with the past whereas Post Modernism stated we had in our brief history already exhausted all possibility of developing or engaging a new form. The need for a New Architecture, states Kipnis, is due to the shortcoming and failings of that which came before it. Kipnis mentions those who would seemingly herald in a new age, Eisenman, Gehry, Libesking, Tschumi, Koolhaus, and Hadid, though points out that they have been described as exotic 98), perhaps as a way to suppress their contribution to a New Architecture. Firstly whenever the term New Architecture is used, critics will deride it as either the egoism or the immorality of the architects. Kipnis somewhat ironically labels this New Architecture, and discusses the difficulties in ascribing such a name. In his writing, Towards a New Architecture, Kipnis attempts to answer the question of what contemporary (in a temporal sense) architecture is and what possible name could we ascribe to the movements that emerges after postmodernism.
