Excerpt of key contetns from the article:
Design approach:
OCEAN north's approach to design emphasises, therefore, the interrelational make-up of the environment as a dynamically unfolding generative field.
Principles:
Process over events.
Relationships over entities.
Development over structure.
Goal:
Relational dynamics between material form, ambient conditions, social arrangements, habitational potential and the subject - individual as well as collective.
Feedback effect upon the intervention.
Questions:
To which degree can design control be suspended or relinquished?
How can relational dynamics be regulated without reinstigating inflexible forms of hard control?
How can the dynamics of evolving environments be facilitated to produce - in an instrumental way - responsive conditions and synergetic effects?
My thoughts:
Thinking of the change of seasons, the change of uses from different time of day or the year, how architectural forms response to those and accomodate the exact needs for space rather than a subjective rule controlled by desiners yet actually coming out of neglect of those specific points. We often say that the key trick for architects is to determine what's the priority problem to solve with sacrificing other attributes because we are limited by the economy, schedule and tools that we command. Yet with the development of more advanced manipulation tools, material and construction techniques, can we subvert the hard control design philosophy of the traditional architectural profession and lean toward a vigorous environment as the author describes here?
