“Deleuze writes in Difference and Repetition, “For a potential virtual object to be actualized is to create divergent lines which correspond to - without resembling - a virtual multiplicity”. In the Virtual House, the virtual multiplicity is the changing memory of the two cubes, changes due to differences in their interrelations in time. In addition to rethinking form, in this process the virtual characteristics of simultaneous activating and manifesting point toward an understanding of multiplicity and establish « real » distinctions between the given parts of a whole. One can no longer reduce complexity to simplicity. Contrary to the Cartesian notion of completion, the idea of incompletion is now operative. The continuous desire to realize the virtual generates new possibilities and alludes to another understanding of interrelations and repetitions. Using the notion of the virtual in making architecture runs the risk of simply and literally materializing the immaterial. Hence one needs to address the productive making of architecture, that is, the condition of the virtual, in order to allow architecture to question traditional judgment. This allows for another working of space that affects both subject and object as architecture continues to become.” -Peter Eisenman, The Virtual House
