On Architecture

Monday, September 22, 2008 by kivaa


The other day I went to see Shigeru Ban's ContainArt at Marina Bay. It's interesting, how he use paper as a building material (he's been using it since 1986, can you imagine that?). And how he use building materials as part of the structure. In this case, he use the container as the wall, the structure and for creating space for the exhibition.

And then I read an article about him on Business Times Saturday. The most interesting part is when he say that building today is not as good as building 500 years ago. And his opinion about technology in architecture, design wise, technology (computer) can only make the design process faster, but not subsequently better.

In his opinion, we can create better architecture if only we spend a little more time designing, and a little more time building it.
