Abstract
architecture and design. In architecture this has been and characterised by the displacement of deconstructivist techniques of collage and contradiction with a folded logic of continuity and curvature. A correlative development can be discerned in design within the transition from the external moral code of green design to the immanent ethics of sustainable design. This parallel development suggests a rich site for dialogue and exchange between folding in architecture and the ecology of sustainable design, one that I argue presents an immanent field of design without transcendent unification of the disciplines. This paper seeks to examine this conceptual site through the interactive reflection of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) with design research, which I will argue has the potential to develop and extend current thinking in design ethics and aesthetics.
