Summary of: ?Deleuze and the genesis of form

Manuel De Landa talks about the genesis of how the relation with the approach of the philosopher Deleuze. Through the process of reading, we started to analyze the concept of form, and as the form going beyond the material, the morphogenesis of form is related to external factors that define it, is never spontaneous. At the same time, this form, provides a guide that generate other forms, creating a topological shapes, and physical instances. Moreover, De Landa, introduces the relationship between time and innovation, arguing that if the future is in the past, the real innovation does not exist in this order, we see the past and the present as potentialities that become real. The virtual is how we understand our perceptions, and the reality is what exists in the world. creating a relationship between the world as it is and the world as we perceive it. named phenomena and nuoumena. He also speaks of thermodynamics to explain the balance. He explains that if one part is placed in hot air and other part in cold air, with a passage between the two, a balance is created, explaining that this balance occurs for actualization. In the end, De Landa talks about the role of the arts, explaining it as a method to represent the way we perceive the world, which goes beyond science, creating virtualities. In my opinion architecture is one of this arts and now that is changing in order to be advanced, using science is important to create designs and thinking in a real data solutions, so the arts, perception and science come together in order to create a balance, actualization.
