Automation of what? The reciprocity between indeterminacy and generativity in architectural technicities

For philosopher William James, the problem of what makes what is not so much about finding what is hierarchically higher and efficient but equating one and many, thus highlighting solely “generative impregnators of difference.” This equation of relating and transducing what is ongoing, one, and what is unfinished, many, would tend to pose its problematisation and affirmation of generativity for James. Simondonian genetic approach to imaging understands the indeterminate difference as a reciprocal unfolding process. Rather than opposing automation, this study will question in which ways the automation of architecture leads to an impasse by bypassing imagining and creating meaningless repetition that would not lead to the unfolding of novel affordances. Also, it will question in which ways automation of actions rather than perception is vital to increasing the capabilities of a new cycle of architectural imagining.
