Everyday architecture is being re-imagined
around the world. Technology of buildings are pushed to the limits. Modern technologies and architecture
are literally inverting the concept of statement architecture with
strange, soft and barely there buildings. Addressing the unique
structural aspects is the key challenge. The knowledges of
technology change and challenge the permanence of building materials and the
inertness. It seems that we are heading towards an era of less expensive and
less programmatic approaches to architecture, human sensory and emotional perception.
As such it allows us to see buildings in new ways.
