In the 1980s, Deleuze and Cache produced a new concept encapsulated in a “barbaric word”, the objectile, a variable object type, where, according to Deleuze, fluctuation of the norm replaces the permanence of a law in the production of the continuum by variation. Sometimes a barbaric word is necessary to deal with a “new pretension”, an exit vector from known territories. Which “new pretensions” could reveal this concept about the architectural design process in the digital age? In this investigation we propose to think what would happen if we took the objectile as the object of the architectural design process to reveal such new pretensions; if we exchanged a fixed object for a variable one, or a mold object for a modulated one. We present three levels of reflection on the digital parametric design in architecture from this point of view: (a) objectile and its relationship in the process as a tool of variability; a path to meta-design; (b) objectile in the matter of choice within the design process: a modulated control; and (c) objectile in the impact on new ways of thinking within the design process: amnesia and algorithmic unconscious. Lastly, we seek to understand the disturbing conceptual change brought by this design idea based on a “continuum by variation”, affecting the concepts as design process, control, freedom, choice and ways of thinking.
