试图将建筑从场地和程序限制中解放出来，并应对内容越来越少、规模越来越大的建筑书籍泛滥的问题。

有些人可能称其为 21 世纪的第一份宣言，因为它提出了一种思考建筑的新方式。其他人可能认为它是最后一篇建筑论文，因为它为那些原本会丢失的想法提供了一个话语容器。无论它属于哪种类型，《无定所》 都是一种似乎横空出世的新型建筑书籍。它的作者是一位在东京执业的年轻法国建筑师，他承认他“这样做并不是出于对建筑的崇敬，而是出于对这门学科的深深厌倦，这是一种强迫性反应。”他问道，如果建筑师将他们的思想从场地、程序和预算的限制中解放出来，会发生什么？结果是这本书充满了形式，并且像麻省理工学院出版社出版的任何建筑书籍一样没有文字。

《无定所》 中的 1001 种建筑形式包括结构寄生、链环塔、滚珠轴承地板、波纹角、指数阳台、放射状立面、爬行框架、法医住房——以及其他可能需要尚未开发的建筑技术和尚未实现的重力关系的建筑理念。《无定所》为建筑想象力提供了一个视觉创意汇编。这些形式是徒手绘制的（以避免软件特定的形状），但从恒定的视角绘制，每页呈现 12 个，没有比例、顺序或系列的结束。在将 1001 种形式置于无场地条件和胚胎阶段后，Blanciak 选择其中一种形式并进行“比例测试”，展示当这些奇妙的想法之一受到东京市中心场地的实际限制时会发生什么。这本书以说明这些形状转变为实际建筑比例的潜力结束。

An attempt to free architecture from site and program constraints and to counter the profusion of ever bigger architecture books with ever smaller content.

Some may call it the first manifesto of the twenty-first century, for it lays down a new way to think about architecture. Others may think of it as the last architectural treatise, for it provides a discursive container for ideas that would otherwise be lost. Whatever genre it belongs to, SITELESS is a new kind of architecture book that seems to have come out of nowhere. Its author, a young French architect practicing in Tokyo, admits he “didn't do this out of reverence toward architecture, but rather out of a profound boredom with the discipline, as a sort of compulsive reaction.” What would happen if architects liberated their minds from the constraints of site, program, and budget? he asks. The result is a book that is saturated with forms, and as free of words as any architecture book the MIT Press has ever published.

The 1001 building forms in SITELESS include structural parasites, chain link towers, ball bearing floors, corrugated corners, exponential balconies, radial facades, crawling frames, forensic housing—and other architectural ideas that may require construction techniques not yet developed and a relation to gravity not yet achieved. SITELESS presents an open-ended compendium of visual ideas for the architectural imagination to draw from. The forms, drawn freehand (to avoid software-specific shapes) but from a constant viewing angle, are presented twelve to a page, with no scale, order, or end to the series. After setting down 1001 forms in siteless conditions and embryonic stages, Blanciak takes one of the forms and performs a “scale test,” showing what happens when one of these fantastic ideas is subjected to the actual constraints of a site in central Tokyo. The book ends by illustrating the potential of these shapes to morph into actual building proportions.
