Performance-oriented Architecture incorporates a series of key concepts. These include:

  • Non-discrete Architectures
  • Non-anthropocentric Architectures
  • The Active Boundary and the Articulated Enveloped
  • The Extended Threshold
  • 2nd degree Auxiliary Architectures - Supplementary Architectures
  • 1st degree Auxiliary Architectures - Embedded Architectures
  • Multiple Grounds

Research projects frequently involve several of these key concepts in an integrative manner.
