An attempt to free architecture from site and program constraints and to counter the profusion of ever bigger architecture books with ever smaller content.Some may call it the first manifesto of the twenty-first century  for it lays down a new way to think about architecture. Others may think of it as the last architectural treatise  for it provides a discursive container for ideas that would otherwise be lost. Whatever genre it belongs to  SITELESS is a new kind of architecture book that seems to have come out of nowhere. Its author  a young French architect practicing in Tokyo  admits he ""didn't do this out of reverence toward architecture  but rather out of a profound boredom with the discipline  as a sort of compulsive reaction."" What would happen if architects liberated their minds from the constraints of site  program  and budget? he asks. The result is a book that is saturated with forms  and as free of words as any architecture book the MIT Press has ever published.The 1001 building forms in SITELESS include structural parasites  chain link towers  ball bearing floors  corrugated corners  exponential balconies  radial facades  crawling frames  forensic housing--and other architectural ideas that may require construction techniques not yet developed and a relation to gravity not yet achieved. SITELESS presents an open-ended compendium of visual ideas for the architectural imagination to draw from. The forms  drawn freehand (to avoid software-specific shapes) but from a constant viewing angle  are presented twelve to a page  with no scale  order  or end to the series. After setting down 1001 forms in siteless conditions and embryonic stages  Blanciak takes one of the forms and performs a ""scale test "" showing what happens when one of these fantastic ideas is subjected to the actual constraints of a site in central Tokyo. The book ends by illustrating the potential of these shapes to morph into actual building proportions.
