Assemblage

An assemblage, in geology refers to a group of fossils that, appearing together, charachterise a particular stratum.these collections of things or of “heterogenous elements” are things brought together that have particular relations. It is these “collections of things and thier relations that help express some thing. The different elements collected in this assemblage “also include the qualities present (large, poisonous, fine, blinding) and the affects and effectivity of the assemblage: that is not what it is but what it can do ” (Deluze, 78). The technique of assemblage is not merely a collection of elements but speaks greatly about how buildings  function as a whole. Take for example in builidngs specific programs are housed next to each other as a result of thier meaning and relationship to eachother. They are not merely placed near each other but organised to gain a sense of greater meaning from what they are placed by. Thus the assemblage of a element is not merely a collection of spaces its “more than just a space; it has a stake, its stated a claim” (Deluze, 79)
