Visual Response


Visual Response - Systematic Residue

Thoughts

Architecture is an incessant spectrum of ideas that defy or delineate the preceding or concurrent idea. Whether it is from modern(ism) to postmodern(ism), classical (style) to gothic (style), or eccentric curios(ity) to corporate predictabil(ity), Architecture has gone through flux to diverse ends of extremes throughout history. The existing architecture serves as a catalog of evolution of architectural ideas and intentions to learn from. How does one go about deciding what their architecture is? The struggle to choose only creates limits restrictions and boundaries to which is followed. Instead of selecting one over the other, Architecture should embrace contradictions and overlaps that allows for unlimited possibilities of physical, tectonic manifestations. Architecture ought to be socially, economically, and environmentally a sensible concept of intention.
