“For me, creation is about responding to
things outside of yourself, and if the outside
is strong your creations can be more
interesting.”
Lars Lerup

the power of architects and architecture within this new context.
Kai-Uwe Bergmann
“I place just as much emphasis in analyzing
a new market as the design team places in
analyzing a new site or program. ”
Mark Simmons
“You have to be a chameleon in terms of
your ability to interpret limits, goals, and
aspirations. Otherwise, if your ideas are irrelevant,
you aren’t earning your place at
the table.”
Jonathan Solomon

Jeff Kipnis: This is pretty much like an early Sex Pistols concert – 40 people show up, they play a song, nobody says anything. That’s about right, don’t you think?

the practice of theory
Lluis Ortega is an Assistant Professor at IaaC in Barcelona, as well as at the Harvard GSD in Boston.
Ortega has been in practice in the firm F451 Arquitectura in Barcelona since 1998. His work is instructive and offers concepts that lead to pedagogical innovation.
As Chief Editor in 2003-2005 of the Catalan architecture periodical Quaderns Ortega contributed a new approach to the publication of architecture and urbanism by introducing text and diagrams that explain the combination of the two scales of construction as representative of the disparate institutions and constituencies that must be brought together.
