I think the notion of the constraint of an idea verses the potential
of a process is a phenomena that we can continuously experience in the
studio world instead of being confined by the specifics of our
imagination we can thoroughly explore the full potential in multiple
directions. The other readings bring the potential of the design process
and its results to the development of culture.
Our understanding of architecture has become so
conceptual...constantly encompassing more than simple the process of
building structures.
I think the potential of the mind can inform out process. To me, an architect is not just a mere builder of building, but questions the way and why and where we build.
ReplyDeleteYou speak of a development of culture, I think that architecture presents a shadow in a landscape, an engrained timeline of cultural values. The power of the built environment seems to be in its ability not only to reflect current or past cultural values, but also generate new norms and new formal mannerisms.
Within this complexity lies a multiplicity of solutions, one solution is neither correct nor objective, as it is perceived through the eye of the designer.
