Francesca Hughes is an architectural theorist, teacher and specialist in the relationship between architecture and technology. Francesca is Director of the School of Architecture at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. Compiling three of her most recent essays, this new ARQ DOCS explores the futility of architectureœs various systems of measure and prediction in order to disarm the filthy logics to which they attend. The essays examine three predictive architectures central to architectural reproduction: the algorithm, the measured survey and the bell curve. Truth is in the Towerʺ recovers Ramon Llullœs efforts in the medieval age to devise a machine (the first computer?) to calculate the truth. Inequalities of Iceʺ examines how the aestheticization of measurement systems ends up betraying measurement itself. Double blindʺ finally, explores how the logics of statistics and standardisation represented by the claustrophobic space inside the bell curve somehow predefine contemporary domestic interiors
