For tomorrow Friday 19.03 set aside a
few hours from 10:00 for short "inspiration slideshow" by TW with longer
Q/A regarding development of projects, workshops, lectures etc. prior
to mid-term and the study trip.

Architecture of Necessity is:
Responsible
Architecture
of Necessity requires insight and professional knowledge. It reflects
human needs, both immediate and distant. It considers all the dimensions
and consequences of architecture, even those that are not always
apparent. The future of architecture lie in its constraints.
Diligent
Architecture
of Necessity is properly planned, considerately executed and
meticulously evaluated. The planning pays attention to experience, it
answers human needs, it embeds the building into its environment and the
function into the building. Attention to detail and choice of material
provides a proximity for users and allows for the inclusion of those
involved. The evaluation generates knowledge of the continued life of
the building and of future projects. Reflection ensures a long-term
economy.
Sustainable
Architecture of Necessity avoids
short-term solutions. Its premise is recycling, it strives to reduce
transport and takes advantage of renewable resources. The Architecture
of Necessity is long term and renewable. Materials are best recycled
where they already exist in a building. Architecture must economise with
resources and energy and show consideration for people.
Just
Architecture
of Necessity counteracts social and global divisions. It prevents
segregation and slums by stimulating participation and development in
suburbs and favelas. It defends architecture as the right of everybody
and the architectural experience as a free utility. Society shall
provide the space for both the everyday and the extraordinary
experiences of human life for everybody.
Open
Architecture
of Necessity invites change and dialogue. It is open to rich and complex
cultural traditions and narratives and is the physical embodiment of
the democratic society. A building or a city is not something to be
completed, it is something to be developed. The architecture that is
open to change and participation wil be loved and it will have a long
life.
