STUDY ON DIAGRAM OF WORKS OF IANNIS XENAKIS (PART 2) : THEORY OF POIESIS IN CONCRET PH AND PHILIPS PAVILION

Abstract

Analyzed by its discrete and topological elements of the diagram, this paper reveals the principles in the poiesis of “Concret PH” and “Philips. Pavilion” by Xenakis. This paper elucidates the principle of the transformation from order towards disorder in the diagram of “Concret PH,” both in the discrete distribution of elements, which is based on the stochastic distribution, and spatial movements described by an identical diagram of “Philips Pavilion.” In addition, the topological isomorphism of the diagram reveals its archetype both in "Concret PH" and “Philips Pavilion,” correlating Xenakis’s creative process of music and architecture.
