Accidental architecture is an imperfect architecture due to the contingent reality of the world. An accidental architecture abandons the futile binaries of form and function and the telos(end goal) of Pure Formalism, Pure Functionalism and absolute accuracy in form-function relations in favour of the poetic interplay and collisions(metaphors) of things—any entities—to create objects through accident. This change of approach from teleological to accidental architecture allows for a new form of aesthetics, an accidental aesthetic that is more than just the subsequent product of form-function relations, an aesthetic that has the same hierarchy with the notions of form and function. This thesis explores accident as a mode of design to create an imperfect architectural object, an accidental architectural object.

This article discusses the practice of  the cult  of temple”s deity. This  cult is said to be a reinvented tradition. The tradition is created because it is formed by the elements that come from the original tradition. By tracing the process of discovering the Hobsbawm tradition from the sacred and profane aspects of Durkheim and its relation to totemism, it is evident that this tradition has a new form and function. The original function of tradition was to strengthen identity, but the new function of the reinvented tradition appears to be an integrative function. The reinvented tradition also occurs in an effort to attract public interest or attention to make it more popular in the community. The temple community carries out an invented  traditional process so that the tradition of  the cult becomes more attractive, and is preferred more popular, through the appearance of entertainment shows at festivals.

STM is one of the most promising techniques available for visualizing the fine details of biomolecular structure. It has been used to map the surface topography of inorganic materials in atomic dimensions, and thus has the resolving power not only to determine the conformation of small molecules but to distinguish site-specific features within a molecule. That level of detail is of critical importance in understanding the relationship between form and function in biological systems. The size, shape, and accessibility of molecular structures can be determined much more accurately by STM than by electron microscopy since no staining, shadowing or labeling with heavy metals is required, and there is no exposure to damaging radiation by electrons. Crystallography and most other physical techniques do not give information about individual molecules.We have obtained striking images of DNA and RNA, using calf thymus DNA and two synthetic polynucleotides, poly(dG-me5dC)·poly(dG-me5dC) and poly(rA)·poly(rU).

Going along with the end of the “golden age” of the welfare state, the fordist paradigm of social housing has been considerably transformed. From the 1980s onwards, a new paradigm of social housing has been shaped in Germany in terms of provision, institutional organization and design. This transformation can be interpreted as a result of the interplay between the transformation of national welfare state and housing policies, the implementation of entrepreneurial urban policies and a shift in architectural and urban development models. Using an integrated approach to understand form and function of social housing, the paper characterizes the new paradigm established and nevertheless interprets it within the continuity of the specific German welfare resp. housing regime, the “German social housing market economy”.
