'A fictitious story to place our architectural entity in.....'
We are to tell a visual story to explain our building.
The entity is to be set around 2025 in the future. 13 years is not a significant amount of time - however will be a crucial time for architects. This time frame allows for predictions about the course of human advancement.
While this assignment is about 'architectural fiction', it has to have some degree of realism according to Yasu. It is difficult to gauge what is real and what is not in the future. Realism could be intepreted as a comfortable prediction of the future, following some sort of linear progression of what is established in the present. But from what we have seen in the past, reality is never a guarenteed or linear progression. Reality could be anything. Future reality should transcend present reality. 'Realistic' predictions in my opinion are stagnate predictions of the present.
Why should the future challenge normal?
On a basic human level, it is important to continually learn and develop. This is partly the reason to human existance. So why shouldn't the built environment reflect the evolution and continual development of natural organisms on earth. Humans are faced with current issues which are a result of the past. By addressing these issues, it enables humans to learn and progress on an issue with the world. It is impossible to predict whether the world will ever be in a equiquibrium or 'utopian', which makes the future so exciting and devestating.
What am I interested in the future?
I am interested in experiences, innovation/ primal development, comfort/ uncomfortable built environments and preservation/adaptability of 'this' all with the interests of natural beings, creatures and organisms. I am interested in dynamic and stimulating environments which engage the senses, exercising our brain.
