Manifesto of Digital counter-revolution in architecture
by Penezic & Rogina Architects

from 2008 Venice biennale

-As the mechanical age comes to its very end, architects should cope with it instead of being obsolete creatures in the Reality more real than the Real One, created by Humans;
-The Mechnical Age's architecture was too exclusive, too sculptural, too theoretical, too complicated, too serious, too isomorphic, too rhetorical;
-The architecture of the Digital Age doesn't necessarily mean the rejection of previous approaches, but, on the contrary, their approproation and distortion; architecture should be more applicable, more lively, easier, more joyful, more hybrid, more "real";
-If the Mechanical is ORTHODOX, the digital is PARADOX; if the Mechanical is PLUG-IN, the Digital is UNPLUGGED; if the Mechanical is EITHER-OR, the Digital is NO_END; if the Mechanical is EXCLUSIVE, the Digital is ELUSIVEl
-The architecture of the Digital Age(nature itself whose form is given by the flow of instantaneous relations)should emphasize TRIBAL QUALITIES of new IT societies whos main features are interconnectivity, tactile vision, transgression, total surround and interactivity.
