Toward Anarchitecture: a Conversation Between Architects and Artists

Matta-Clark stipulated that the term did not imply anti architecture but was, rather, "an attempt at clarifying ideas about space which are personal insights and reactions rather than formal socio-political statements..."

Think of the work of the following figures: Friedrich Kiesler, Haus-Rucker, John Hejduk, Gordon Matta Clark, Rachel Whiteread, Maya Lin, Dan Graham, Diller Scofidio+ Renfro, Olafur Eliasson, James Wines, Walter Pichler, Heizer, Archigram, Sol Le Witt, Thomas Saraceno, Greg Lynn, Juan Downey, David Byrne, Gregor Schneider, Alex Amini, Gage/Clemenceau Architects, Urban A&O, Jan Decock, Lo-Tek, Alice Aycock, Didier Faustino and the many more Architects and Artists experimenting with Architecture and Art and essentially blurring those boundaries.

For many young architects, their education and that of their instructors have laid the ground work for the way they perceive the process and production of architecture.

With changes in technology, theoretical discourse, the competition system, the process and importance of drawing or not, the manufacture of objects, 3D prints, and other rapid prototyping methods, there has been a greater expression of unprecedented form, and for other architects, the theoretical process has lead to more conceptual work or work transgressing other disciplines such as mathematics or computer science.

There are also cases where the architectural work is not about form at all and is purely conceptual and/or psychological.
