EXCERPTS FROM ARTICLE:
“...works are often
small in scale and built far from urban centers where ordinary people could
benefit from them most. There is a lack of diversity and risk-taking.”
“Architecture is a
means of expression. You are saying something with your work. To me that’s art.
Every project must resonate with the architect’s ideas and intentions.”
“Architectural design
is quite spontaneous and can go into many directions.
“Architecture is not
just buildings and objects. It could be if we are talking about mediocre
architecture. But good architecture radiates with emotions. Poetry, joy,
spirituality, inclusiveness, connectedness.”
“We seek to use
architecture to express our emotions and reactions in the simplest, yet most
powerful way – to create a kind of spectacle, a delightful, and touching
experience.”
“Architecture is
about both the intentional and unintentional, rational and irrational. It is
never as simple as one plus one equals two. So sometimes, the design process
can take a long time; other times, it can be very fast. Still, even when ideas
come quickly, we may need to spend months developing them.”
DESIGN THEORY:
Architecture involves the coalescing of framework and
spontaneity to express the intentional and unintentional, rational and
irrational
The article by Vladimir Belogolovsky describes an interview
with Chinese architect Li Hu of OPEN Architecture, and postulates the foremost
idea that architecture is an embodiment of the ideas, experiences, intentions
and emotions that the architect wants to express. The article also highlights
the necessity for diversity and risk taking within the expressing of the
architects intentions, as revealed when Li Hu reveals complexity and
spontaneity of architectural design. Thus, the underlying theory I have
formulated is to explore the multi-faceted nature of architecture, and how it
bridges the relationship and balance between both the intentional and unintentional,
rational and irrational.
