mark wigley, dean of GSAPP, lecturing in his history of architecture class

Lebbeus Woods Lectured in GSAPP

Architecture should not be judged simply by the quality of problems it solves,
but by the quality of problems it creates. Lebbeus Woods

another poem

There is no room

For tears anymore

It is all joy,

the word defeat is missing

in my vocabulary

it is all glory,

proudly conquering the dreams

I am wearing my armor

of immortality,

still banging my head

to the wall

just to make sure

it is not a dream,

Citizens of 21th century are experiencing a rapid transformation in every tiny detail of their everyday experience of universe. The growth and development of communication technology had undeniable effects on metropolis life style in every aspect, such as leisure and entertainment, commerce, education and culture. A new investigation is required on Architecture’s new social rule in 21th century metropolis and housing projects specifically provide the most appropriate research opportunity in this field of study. They may also come up with innovative solutions for future urban fabric as Safdie’s Habitat was in pursue of. Realization of a revolutionary concept for 21th century urban fabric may arise from the Architectural theory which can be generated by a constructive combination of latest achievements in digital design techniques such as generic architecture and scripting methods with understanding the social issues in the age of communications.

Architecture theory: Lessons from Habitat

By Sina Mesdaghi for "Metropolis, and After" Instructed by Enrique Walker, GSAPP 2008

“A work of architecture must give expression to the life for which it was intended; it must not only competently satisfy the requirements of the program, but its form should resonate with the diverse spaces and activities it contains.”

...

Besides all positive and negative critiques, Habitat ’67 is a realized mega‐structure among numerous unrealized concepts in 60’s and therefore remains as an important case study figure in understanding mega‐structure Architecture in practice. Habitat is a building, but it is also a demonstration of an idea; a hybrid building, a different answer to controversial issue of housing projects in the globe. Habitat improves on apartment living by providing each home with an exterior front door, a variety of views, and a large outdoor terrace ‐ for everyone a penthouse - and it counters suburban sprawl by stacking houses one on top of another ...

the red balloon

I have seen this before on Iranian TV. the movie : red-balloon (1962)

a short cut

I. the final movie is too heavy to upload, this is a snap shot.

II. the jury liked the idea but called my continues surfaces
"old fashioned"!

III. the life is moving so fast around me that sometimes
I desperately need to push the pause bottom!
