This paper proposes to focus on the notion of “disjunction” as it has been theorized by Bernard Tschumi. More specifically, it will try to show how Tschumi’s inaugurating lecture at Columbia GSAPP, “Six Concepts” (1991), captures the notion of “disjunction” in a state of mutation and adaptation. The critical period in which the lecture takes place marks not only a junction point for the architect-theorist’s career and the legacy of his theoretical apparatus, but it also marks a turning point for the tendencies of architectural theory in Anglo-American universities.
