Perspectives




Article Mashup


Architecture works on the principle of a pendulum. On the one side is the importance of the role of computers and technology, and architects are constantly pushing, pushing for new technologies, new typologies, and new solutions for the way that we live today. The other side is our attitudes. You can't ignore history; you can't escape it even if you want to. Technology we use which gives us the opportunity to be more individual. We throw out historical symbols and this is reflected in every form of the arts. I think there is a backlash to experimental architectural projects, it's super unpopular, we totally alienate you, you guys prefer the tangible, the understood. Here there's a paradox.


Because architecture actually moves quite quickly. You would think that our means of representation and communicating are immediate because we are living on the verge of the greatest revolution in architecture. Everybody needs a model of some kind, we are constantly exposed to different views and interpretations of familiar environments and designs. The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder, it doesn't matter how we build, it matters what we build. And it is up to the individual to want to embrace it or dismiss different approaches to their own set of familiar interpretative references.
