THIS WILL _ THIS was awarded to be the first issue of STANDPUNKTE Magazine, in a competition held last fall. Architect Jesse LeCavalier, architectural historian John Harwood, and graphic designer Guillaume Mojon investigate with their analysis of bar codes and related encryptions the thresholds and overlaps between material and immaterial media. Of special interest is the display of information in a nonlinear interplay of different media. By means of a historical and spatial analysis of the ambivalent nature between built space and information space, the authors explore the organizational complex of the built environment, propagating encrypted architecture and urbanism as models to speculate for the future of our surroundings.The competition jury — Luke Bulman, Salomon Frausto, Jürgen Mayer H., Tilo Richter, Philip Ursprung — found this submission to be ‘a fresh take on how architectural materiality can affect printed matter and vice versa,’ a ‘proposition [that] reconsiders the spatial logics of our information-embedded environment to provide new insights into the built world.’ Jesse LeCavalier, John Harwood, Guillaume MojonSTANDPUNKTE ONE: This Will _ This Standpunkte, Basel, June 2009, ISBN 978-3-9523540-1-8
