In his manifesto on the ‘Empty Forms’ Reinhold discuss how modern architecture attempts to be empty in its developmental process, devoid of programmatic or other ‘extra-architectural factors’ in its attempt to turn itself into a product of purist formalism movement. He proves this futile by going on to say that the program itself are contingent, demonstrated by modern day architectures in which programs are interchangeable or left very open.
However, Reinhold does say that an empty form is a utopian category, meaning we can only approach it so close, but to reach the actual point of being an ‘empty form’ itself is impossible.
Many contemporary architecture have claimed itself that it is, in fact, an empty form, unaffected by any other governing bodies. Parametric design is a very good example of this. By manipulating the algorithms of shapes and forms, the form of the building is conceived of. However, the architect can not still dismiss the fact that he/she have manipulated the form to accommodate for a certain program, for example many of Zaha Hadid design, though claimed to be computer generated, is a result of human tampering with the original models to suit the building’s programmatic needs.
