While you probably could talk about an "architecture of techno", it
would be a metaphorical thing. I agree with the folks who have said
that music and architecture are entirely different things, although I
do think that it has less to do with distinctions of abstraction vs
concreteness and more to do with distinctions between permanence and
ephermerality. Techno is "functional" in entirely different a way than
architecture -- "functional" techno made for the needs of the moment
and functional architecture made to endure for longer periods.
All that said, I seem to recall reading that Karl O'Connor and Peter
Sutton's _Againstnature_ was inspired by the work of an architect,
although I can't remember who. On some level, the _X-103_ record has
always struck me as being architecture-related, although now that that
thought has emerged I'm powerless to tell you why. One would expect
that Mills would have an architectural influence on his music, because
it's certainly influenced his web site.
