The reading communicated many
intriguing concepts. It touches on architecture that is industrially designed,
the process of technological transfer, expression of
expendability/prefab/modular, and indeterminacy.
What I really liked and appreciated
about this reading was the idea that architecture is like a still shot. It
provides a momentary manifestation of contextual ideas that are presently
relevant.
Modernism has been described as the
nature of the modern world to be dynamism which is wrought by “mechanication,
economic liberalization, social upheaval, and new insight into the physical
world.”
The idea of adjoining spaces is
explored with the addition of technology into the design process. This creates
flow, multifunctionalism, and the introduction of prefabricated components. The
design becomes a way to frame individual functions and maintain unity. A house
becomes a tool, as is the motor of a car… and not just a solidly built objects
that sets out to defy time.
I’m interested in the concept of
space being transformable and flexible. I think the future needs architecture
that can change as our needs do.
