Book excerpt: The idea of architecture and representation is replaced by the idea of architecture and simulation. The real of architecture is substituted for the image of architecture, which in the system of mass media becomes the real of architecture itself. This architectural simulation within the system of mass media is realised by the production of architectural symptoms. In the same way the symptoms are there to simulate the disease, the architectural symptoms are there to simulate a physical environment. This book gives a brief overview of several projects of SPECIMEN Architecture in order to examine how an architectural practice can be based on the architectural symptoms themselves.
