In diesem Keller gab es neun Türen; acht führten in ein Labyrinth, das trügerisch wieder in dieselbe Kammer mündete; die neunte führte (durch ein weiteres Labyrinth) in eine zweite, kreisförmige Kammer, die der ersten glich.
aus Jorge Luis Borges, El inmortal, 1947, sinngemäße deutsche Übersetzung
somewhere in between, we lost track of whether we are talking about office buildings or showcases. or more generally about architecture that creates this sense of artificiality and set units made for the sake of clarity; of former demands for distinction between spaces. A separation of functional spheres built up by different inhabitants or borrowers of space, each fulfilling their own requirements. While rushing through the grid that structures the different properties, one moves around them as if through a model.
