Abstract
This essay aims to exercise an unpopular idea that neoliberalism has created a distinct architectural language and that an analysis of its semantics can inform our understanding of this “transparent” ideology governing the contemporary world. Manfredo Tafuri’s proposed that the subsumption of architecture under capital has formalized its language to the point of architecture becoming a manipulation of semantically empty structures. By applying an analysis of computational semantics, we elaborate on Tafuris’s proposal, showing that the subsumption of architecture has deprived it from its previously visible and obvious meanings, simultaneously creating a hidden code of semantics subservient to the capital.
