Architecture: The richness of indetermination

Abstract

Not knowing what architecture is should be the most pressing challenge of architecture. It could be thanks to this confusion that a new environment of questioning and creative challenges could flourish. Architecture could once again become the basis for a meaningful tale within cities, weaving together material and immaterial heritage. Buildings constitute places that people inhabit from within and not as something outside of their realm. Spatial and temporal realities are inherent to the design of buildings while they are not necessarily inherent in the design of objects. The most valuable tool for architecture or design students is therefore the encouragement of critical, imaginative and independent thinking through his/her own discoveries in making.
