English abstract:
"Think of a kitchen table - without you being there", this is a circumscription in Virginia Woolfs novel To the Lighthouse of what Mr Ramsey, a character in her text and a metaphysician by profession, concerns himself with all day long. We find in Woolfs novel an interesting starting point for thinking about today's relation between technology and architecture, the weather and its realism, cybernetics and its pragmatics, orientation and adventure, being safe and the taking of risk: How to imagine lighthouses with respect to the seas of data, the floods of information, and the tricky task to steer a ship while embarking on an adventure?
