Week 4 Reading - Architectural Weaponry BLDG BLOG

I found this interview to be very interesting in that it talked about that in order to move forward in the world of architecture and designing, we need to not only be nurturing new ideas but producing them. By creating discussions amongst architects who work closely together we are not forcing or agitating new ideas to be realized.

 I have never thought that deeply into the evolution of architecture being a slow one, but after the reading this article and reflecting back on what I know about how architecture has evolved in recent times I have come to agree with this statement. Although there are constantly new ideas about how to produce architecture such as sustainability, the rate at which they grow seems to be constrained.

Maybe this is due to tradition holding us back, governing bodies and laws restraining our freedom as creators, or maybe it is the architects fault themselves for not using their skills to their full potential and convincing the client without much persuasion that there are more exciting and advantageous design solutions to be achieved.
