Interrogate: To examine formally by questioning.
But what are the questions? What are we trying to do, and are we doing it?
Solving a problem with meaning.
Is the solution solving the problems at hand? - is the first question; however, the more critical question I suppose is what is the intentions of the design? Contemporary society: politics, technology, media, social… the list goes on- are these powerful enough to base a 50 year building? They, all of these, seem to add to the chaos of our days, a fast paced, instantaneous, Uber world… (not that contemporary is bad…)
I believe the questions should resonate and ground the architecture, giving it presence, coherence, atmosphere, a contextual understanding (not copy) a sense of weight (or lack of), purposeful (ritual), incorporating simplicity , proportion, and a strong sense of materiality.
Knowing the why, allow us to move to the how. How is it connecting to the earth? How does it meet the sky? How is it turning the corner?
