Published in Project Journal for Architecture: Issue 5, “Glitch Space” examines how error, noise, and discontinuity can operate as productive design logics rather than defects to be corrected. The essay situates the architectural “glitch” within digital culture and material practice, showing how misalignments, overlaps, and artifacts can generate new spatial readings and formal strategies. By treating breakdowns in representation and fabrication as opportunities, it argues for an architecture that embraces contingency and iteration. The result reframes precision—not as seamless perfection, but as a calibrated negotiation with instability.
