Architecture without Prelates, Magistrates and Admirals: The R3build pavilion

Drozynski, Charles

Abstract

Architects, much like diagnosticians of a body suffering from a malady are investigators of the state society is in. They examine the condition of culture to propose an adequate spatial response that does not only provides a solution to a problem (often lack of efficiently organized space) but offers delight of inhabitation as set out in their mind’s eye. Following from this and similarly to a diagnosis of a body in distress the architecture for a society in unrest demands a consolidated yet soft definition of the ailment and baseline condition of the patient; a state that the architect can recognize. In a certain sense, the process of consolidating this diagnosis illuminates the bare structures with which we prop up the designer’s confidence so they can cut into and rearrange the fleshy inter-connectivity of the flows that invigorate our society.
