I know of three meanings of the term 'fictive architecture'. The first is invented architecture described in a novel. The second is speculative or imaginary architecture on paper or in cyberspace. The third use is the one which interests me: it is architecture which is built and exists, and which embodies fictional ideas. To understand this, think of the difference between a novel and non-fiction book. In a novel, there is no bound to the imaginative leaps that can occur, whereas within a non-fiction book meticulous care must be taken to adhere to the facts and present them elegantly. Most architecture is like the latter, fictive architecture as I am proposing is like the former. Please visit my blog www.architecturalfictionassociation.wordpress.com where I give examples.

What is fictive locomotion?

Fictive locomotion is motor movements that do not require any feedback. Typically, when you make a motor movement like walking, it requires sensory information through vision and proprioception to help regulate where, how, and when to walk. In other words, you see where you can place your foot and you receive sensory information regarding when and how hard your feet are hitting the ground. Fictive locomotion is motor movements that do not require any of this. Fictive locomotion is typically artificially created. For example, Bem, Orsal, and Cabelguen (1993) used electrical stimulation in specific brain regions in immobilized rats to show that this creates fictive locomotor patterns in the hindlimb muscle nerves.
