Architectural premise statement

Architectural Premise


Architecture not only creates happy comfortable environments but also places of intense labour, pain and slavery. The space usually doesn’t connect with the human scale and occasionally dramatically overpowers it. Sounds and movements evoke danger from turbines in factories. Flickering light and emergence of sudden sharp structures occur at unsuspected points. You rarely want to go close to these zones as though they create invisible boundaries like a fence. However people cross through them and have been sliced and stabbed. Yet there is a great drama in this architecture and people appreciate that all this pain and fear is a sacrifice for achieving some positive result in the end (financial profits-for some).
