From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project:
28 May 2022 Saturday
The discovery of Giovanni Battista Piranesi's final project occurred 28 May 2022, late that Saturday night when again I was rehearsing an imaginary interview, with Orhan Ayyüce elseplace conducting. "The erasure and re-etching of the Circus Maximus plan within the 'Pianta dell antico Foro Romano' clearly exhibits completeness and a job well done, whereas the erasure and re-etching of all the circus plans within the 'Ichnographia Campus Martius' exhibits incompleteness and a job somewhat poorly done, yet together, all these erased and re-etched circus plans point toward a work-in-progress interrupted by Piranesi's death . . . [and then it dawned on me] . . . hence the inadvertent manifestation of Piranesi's final project!"

As a title, "The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project" definitively précises all the research and thinking having been done to figure out why and when Piranesi erased and re-etched all the ancient Roman circus plans he had already drawn/etched and published. The trajectory of all the study and investigation, in one fell swoop, became obvious and clear. It was now time to collect all the essential imagery and commit the explanatory-scenarios-in-my-head to text.

"Technology is a cruel tool" -Peter Eisenman
Eisenman uses 'resistance' as an example of something that cannot be attained through a design algorithm, thus inferring that a design of 'resistance' can only be attained via designing without the aid of a computer(?). He's just making something sound important when, in fact, it's nothing important at all.
It's fine if Eisenman chooses to design with the intention of manifesting resistance, but his design choices have no bearing at all on how one designs while using algorithms. Again, all he's really doing is trying to make the way he designs more important than the way students (supposedly) design via algorithms today.
Essentially, everything that Eisenman here riles against is just a straw man set up to make his way of doing things appear more important.

"Technology is a cruel tool" -Peter Eisenman
It's beginning to seem more sensible that taking an algorithm, and producing 50 alternatives to the same problem is exactly what engenders the possibility of value judgment. It makes sense because you start to discern differences, opportunities, advantages vs. disadvantages, even what looks better. Yes, a nimiety of value judgment possibilities.
