Weird Speculative Things on Architectural Objects and Their Representation

Architecture is uncertain. Without the certainty of absolute knowledge, the pursuit of an objective understanding of architecture is challenging. In its place lies a turbulent realm of subjective experience and scientific explanations that transform architecture into a description of itself. This thesis undertakes an exploration of the objectivity of architecture through Graham Harman's Object-oriented Ontology, Speculative Realism, and Weird Realism, resulting in the investigation of Weird Speculative Things that embrace the object-oriented world we live in and challenge it through speculation. This thesis explores the nature of architectural objects and their representation, aiming to influence architectural thinking through an intellectual, self-reflexive, recursive, and abstract investigation of modern philosophy.
