Past Forward, Think Space

Past Forward, Think Space


Radically Transform
The last three decades saw significant change across social, political, and environmental registers. The conjunction of capital flows, mass urbanization and increasingly interconnected cultural and financial networks have reshaped the way we understand, produce and discuss architecture resulting in a breathless cycle of formal and aesthetic transformations. This restless appearance of change conceals an increasing sense of inertia or perhaps even of confusion, in that an intellectual project has yet to accompany the overriding sense of technical virtuosity.

Where is the meaning? At the top or at the bottom?

Where is the meaning? At the top or at the bottom?


Define It Billboard Size
Creatively get it all out of your system… treat it as a canvas to project all the processes taking place in the world at the moment out on. We live in the time of crisis so how can we treat it as quickly as we can?  In our fast-paced world, think about where we are heading and why we chose this particular direction. Are we happy with the way the reality we created works? Are we reaching for the top or for the bottom?
Are we happy with the goals we are setting for ourselves? Are these goals ours or are they imposed on us? Where is the meaning?
