Not sure what you were talking about, however I think I got the jist of how are our cities moving into the future and what will propel them. In that case, the idea of technology would be one way to go, you could also involve human interaction, as well as global issues like climate.

I think you need to be a little more specific in what you mean by buildings of the future.
ReplyDeleteWoobok,
ReplyDeleteWhen writing this, you must ask the following: what does any of this have to do with an architectural thesis? I think there is a pretty clear answer to that question, I'm just not seeing it in your 1+3+9. In your next iteration you should be more specific.
I do see some interesting potential in you collages. There is something about the image: the grid moving endlessly across the plan, seemingly unrelenting and monotone, but actually affected by local specificity, be it a topographic or other (programmatic?) interruption that causes variety and singularity. Marry this to your idea of sustainability and robots and you may have a thesis.
Btw, you are not the first to consider how these factors impact architecture and vice versa. Look to your predecessors: Superstudio, Archigram, Sottsass, etc. You may want to begin by looking at the book "The Changing of the Avante Garde."
