Hi,
Good guy palla !
This slide are pics of the lecture "Working Progress." Talk by Thom Mayne, architect, Morphosis, Santa Monica, CA. He pop uped lots of images like a machine gun...as if it's an animation movie of his way of thinking of architecture and cities through his vital career. Basically, in my point of view, he introduced his way of 'morphosis' of his works chronologically categolized by the three principles : 1) Urbanized fragments 2) Augmented landscape 3) Emerging organizations.
Recently, rather than congested design operations, he is going to create single operations which generate derivative and divergent elements on his projects--probably, conceptually like algorithmic architecture reflecting micro environments. Though I couldn't see the concrete detail of his new methodology, the visual results were very interesting.
Why don't you just click on "start" and see them?

---It is not possible today to put forward a single definition of architecture. Today's understanding of the concept of architecture....includes what architecture was before, but embraces also many other marginal and not -so- marginal attempts to react architecturally to different circumstances. Rafarel Moneo. 1990 (cited by Jeff Kipnis in 2005)
-Believe the statement intellectualy, or otherwise reject emotionally so far...?
