“Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.
Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
The intellectual force of the West is still dominant, but other cultures are getting stronger. I expect that we will develop a new way of thinking in architecture and urban planning, and that less will be based on our models.
It is not possible to live in this age if you don't have a sense of many contradictory forces.
