Somewhere between Asia and North American time is form making. Nothing more or less. The process of my 'making' has little to do with place, culture or even reason. Just because we can, there you have it. A fast made architecture for ultimate consumptions. Sometimes as Architects this is what we are faced with, like it or not; a commercial expectation that feeds us.
As environmental designer's we must argue for compulsory connections (in the very least) to context and to nature. This should be fundamental in going beyond building commodity exclusively. I like to imagine our architectures now as multi-generative; energy producing (renewable sources), mixed-function structures of entertainment / trade/ multi-social class living opportunity. An amalgam of functions extending beyond singular objects, while acknowledging greater social and environmental concerns. What form would this take in the city? First considerations must look beyond form-making as a generative foundation for architecture and the city.
Space, experience and environment need to be intertwined.
