"Breaking The Japanese Grid"
Adso, you say:
"I tried to dissuade students of the notion that program was a list of functions and square footages by getting them to think of program elements as verbs instead of nouns- a place for sleeping instead of merely a bedroom."
A place for sleeping and a bedroom don't really sound all that different to me because it's still just applying a function to a space.
[It seems] the point of Japanese architecture of the 16th century is that one could well choose to sleep in the moon viewing room or choose to sleep in the breeze catching room, or choose to sleep in the fragrant room etc. The same would go for eating, reading, (cooking?), etc.
And if all the sliding wall panels doubled as flat screen monitors, then you could watch TV anywhere too.
I wonder what verb best describes this type of thinking.

did any artists make reservations?
Tertullian and John the Baptist Piranesi are looking forward to presenting "De Spectaculis II" at Leaving Obscurity Behind, the 2005 Horace Trumbauer Architecture Fan Club Convention, on 14 May 2005 in honor of the 14 May 1999 discovery of the two states of the Ichnographia Campus Martius by an outsider.
"De Spectaculis II" will also correct all the mistakes and crafty omissions made by David R. Marshall within "Piranesi, Javarra, and the Triumphal Bridge Tradition" (in The Art Bulletin, a quarterly published by the College Art Association, June 2003). Tertullian and Piranesi love it when peer-reviewed academics publish stupid mistakes.
And don't forget the forthcoming presentations of "The Marriage of Twisted and Column" by Eutropia and Rubens, and "Nudist Camp at the Philadelphia Museum of Art" by Duchamp and Jennewein on 20 March 2005. By the looks of it, be prepared for standing room only.

Louis I. Kahn arrived late last night. He spent most of the 30th anniversary of his death yesterday in Ireland, with St. Patrick actually. He and Catherine are already busy composing their paper, but he hasn't guessed Franciska's guest yet. Maria, Melania (the younger), and Piranesi are designing a game for all to play--delineate an aftermathic reenactment of the first Visigothic plunder of the Horti Salustiani. Otto's posted Duchamp's and Jennewein's "Nudist Camp" survey so far.
Theodosius was Spanish.
Honorius worried about his Spanish relatives under Constantine the usurper (and with good reason because they were killed before he knew it).
Their Spanish heritage (along with their same age, disposition, and wealth) was a bond between Maria and the younger Melania--a bond to the very last day (whenever that is).
"The train in Spain stays mainly....."
architecture and human nature...

living is an ant farm
living is a nudist camp

Re: E-M~A ARCHITECTURE
I believe there is one very vital element not exactly missing from but not addressed specifically in a/your theory/practice r-evolution emanating from ELECTROMAGNETIC ARCHITECTURE principles (etc.), and that is the actuality that ELECTROMAGNETIC ARCHITECTURE exists in its most powerful (truest/purest) state when in tandem with 100% OSMOTIC ARCHITECTURE (or architecture of osmosis).

1912. Monday, Neuilly-sur-Seine
On the day of the press preview of the Salon des Indépendants, Marcel receives an unexpected visit from his two elder brothers solemnly dressed. He learns that Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger, members of the hanging committee, think that his Nude destined for the Cubist Room has "too much of a literary title, in the bad sense--in a caricatural way. A nude never descends the stairs--a nude reclines..." Even the Cubists little revolutionary temple, Marcel discovers, cannot understand that a nude could be descending the stairs.
"The Cubists think it's a little off beam," explain Villon and Duchamp-Villon. "Couldn't you at least change the title?" But as the title written in capital letters at the bottom left hand corner of the canvas, Nu descendant un Escalier, is an integral part of his painting, Marcel says nothing.
As soon as his brothers have gone, he immediately takes a taxi to the Quai d'Orsay, collects his picture and takes it home.
