Week 5 - Reading

Erasing Architecture into the System disputes the context that is architecture and describes through the 1960s and 1970s it developed from solely being about function or as it was put ‘contain for living’ to a functioning form that responds to uncertain conditions. This is somewhat relevant to our future scenario. Our future vision is not a conclusive vision, but rather a scenario full of stages in the lifecycle of infrastructure where is responds to context and evolves as significant changes occur or when newer technology becomes available. This got me thinking as to how our structure could better create a sense of place to create human emotion and social connection. Isozaki mentions that a structure should be built to be explored and navigated, it should create a sense of place, a stir of emotions, create human and social connection. This gives me an idea of a building that organically forms and evolves with time as to always create curiosity and exploration with people and the physical environment.
