The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin, 1968.

Web Design as Architecture

August 2025 / As I begin to navigate the borders of not just a discipline in crisis, but what feels like a crisis that folds in around every corner, I often find myself at a point of stillness, or perhaps, paralysis. Jack Self, in an issue of Real Review, wrote about what he has coined, Time Confetti. In a time where constant attention is demanded, it is an image of tearing up all your ‘work’ and scattering it throughout your day. A day pierced with impending tasks. Inside this space of falling confetti, I find that an understanding of architecture itself becomes increasingly fragmented, pierced by the falling loose paper. At the borders of architectural thought lies a couple of things, but one, might be fiction. Scaffold Podcast, in conversation with Patrick McGraw, brings up the idea that architecture is becoming increasingly anachronistic, it is divorced from the virtual world that increasingly holds us captive. I have been reading and looking into excersizes of fiction and ‘worldbuilding’that appear to cut through a constant stream of production. It is here that something begins to settle, the future could be bright and slow. It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitialism (Mark Fischer), hence, to position oneself in the act of imagining the future, could be to place ones practice in an act of resistance.
