The Architecture of Variation: ed. Lars Spuybroek

The idea of 'type' is essential to the framework of Lars Spuybroek's theory.  It is through type that variations are manifested.  The research covered in the publication  'The Architecture of Variation' includes an essay from Mark Kirschner "Variations in Evolutionary Biology'.  The question of how form is generated in biology is of key relevance to my research. I will be using this discussion as the supporting literature for Experiment 2 - using the body scan images of the human skull of different humans as the source material for exploring generative forms defined by existing conditions of the human skull as type (differences measured are going to act as the parameters in building the file).
