Architecture of Limitations
Architecture of Limitations
- New alliances
“The crisis is the greatest blessing for people and nations, because the crisis brings progress. Creativity comes from anxiety as the day comes from the dark night.”
A. Einstein, 1955
Strict requirements and given financial circumstances constantly reduce the possibilities of approaching architecture in a common way. Contraints condition the creative process.
But constrains are not necessarily a bad thing while they stimulate human creativity.
Limitation means to deal with what you have and what you can do with it. It implies a choice and a clear definition of priorities. Approaches need to disclose the essence of an architectural problem and react to it with precise answers.
Limitation is forcing radical solutions generating a strong dialogue with the available materials, their logical use and structural possibilities, their formal characteristics as well as their social meanings.
Final solutions always express their own condition of being the logical result of the process.
