Prosthetic, machine, index, aesthetic

"This proposal is a collection of Architecture's multiple forms of environmental agency. Sidestepping the pursuit of an ideal response to environmental problems, a comparison of multiple approaches is brought together in one building. Within a spectrum of prioritization from the performative to the aesthetic, four different forms of environmental agency are represented: the Prosthetic, the Machine, the Index, and the Aesthetic." -- https://commencement.gsd.harvard.edu/thesis2020/portfolio/william-f-smith/ (viewed October 8, 2020)
