"When the term "complexity" appears in architectural contexts, it is clear at once that it has more than one definition, more than one interpretation, more than one architectural conceptualization. Perhaps more than other cultural disciplines, architecture is confronted by complexity on the most diverse levels. Clearly, it is often a question of models of a further level of complexity, and hence also of conceiving a different world picture, rather than of precisely categorizing or analyzing what already exists. What is required are modes of reading complexity that - despite or precisely because of their disparities - lead inexorably to questions concerning their respective systems of reference: which context generates which concept of complexity? Which concept of complexity generates which context?"--Jacket.
