CRITICAL THINKING FOR CRITICAL TIMES

AR. OCTOBER 2011

‘It is too easy to use our frustration with Parametricism – or even the shock of the economic recession – to hark back to nostalgic and provincial Modernism.’
Farshid Moussavi, AR 10.2011

‘Digitally driven design makes creative processes much more open to technocratic interference.’
Pier Vittorio Aureli, AR 10.2011

‘Sustainability – among many other things – emphasises the need to reintegrate an environment fragmented by modernity.’
Peter Buchanan, AR 10.2011

 ‘The school does not claim to solve major problems by applying political theories and utopian design concepts – its aim has been to meet the needs of a moment.’
Jonathan Glancey, AR 10.2011

 ‘Never in the history of humanity has so much bad and meaningless geometry been produced by so few architects.’
William JR Curtis, AR 10.2011
