...on Ideas and Process

In "Prelude: Mapping the Question - The Perspective Hinge"  the relationship between architectural conception and realization is analyzed; beginning with the idea that conception and realization share a "one-to-one" communication between the ideas represented and the appearance/construction of the final building. Taken in comparison to "Roller-Coaster Construction" this article challenges the ideas constructing the structure of a building simply as something to ensure the building shape stands. We are challenged to "step away from a formal image of an idea but instead let the image emerge from the project as it develops".
