“ For me, architecture is the means, not the end. It's a means of making different life forms possible. ”
I believe that architecture, as anything else in life, is evolutionary. Ideas evolve; they don't come from outer space and crash into the drawing board.
~ Bjarke Ingels
In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives.
I think architecture is rarely the product of a single ideology. It's more like it can be shaped by a really big idea. It can accommodate a lot of life forms.
Architecture is restricted to such a limited vocabulary. A building is either a high-rise or a perimeter block or a town house.
