WEEK FIVE READING: ERASING ARCHITECTURE INTO THE SYSTEM


The reading outlines the system of architecture and the relevance of mechanisms. The architecture work of Cedric Prince is explored, who is known to have an individual approach to building which involves extensive attention to detail. His work has the ability to adapt to varying applications depending on the situation.

He had the ability to design a specific type of integrated software within his building designs. I believe he took architectural design to a level beyond the obvious and typical.

The importance of learning to design for a diverse group of people is expressed (young but also old, less educated and highly educated). Design should cater for all kinds of people by accommodating to a diverse range of users.

The importance of research and design are discussed. Architecture is directly affected by the changes in the way people interpret design.
