smooth and striated space, literary spaces, fictional, speculative architecture
Hello everyone,
Lately I've been thinking about the concept of smooth vs. striated space, and I’m trying to adapt it to architectural spaces as they’re described in literature for a project I’m working on.
I’m curious how others interpret this distinction when applied to literal spaces in fictional narratives. For example, how would you differentiate between smooth and striated spaces in the way environments are constructed, described, or experienced within a text?
Do you think this distinction translates well to literary/architectural analysis, or does it risk becoming too metaphorical when removed from its original philosophical context?
Anyway. Please reply or text me if you have any ideas, paradigms or opposing views... Let's talk about it.
