The goal of architecture is to create structures to house humans and their activities. Humans are parts of the earth’s ecosystem, even though we tend to forget that. Let us turn to nature and study complexity in living things, instead of just the dead works of man. Here we find constructs whose complexities thrill us with awe. The brain alone is intricate beyond mapping, powerful beyond imitation, rich in diversity, self-protecting, and self-renewing. The secret is that it is grown, not built. The landscape and nature invites interpretation.
Logically, architecture has to have a theoretical basis that begins with the natural ecosystem. The act of building orders materials in very specific ways, and humans generate an artificial ordering out of materials they have extracted from nature and transformed to various degrees.Public Space in Australia is often tentative. The outdoors is where Australians expect to find trees, birds, views. In Europe the outdoors is full of people. Since the Australian experiene does not encourage engagement with the social realm, there is pressure to find models that reconcile outdoor spaces with an enriched experience of the public domain. This idea also connotes to that of Bangladesh.
You see, we believe that agile architecture comes from the behavior of agile architecting. Itʼs primarily about mindset and actions, not the use of a particular design pattern. And part of that mindset is thinking ʻgrowingʼ or ʻgardeningʼ over ʻarchitectingʼ. Architecture is walls with openings in them. The task is to create enclosure, territory. The games here concern with inside/outside, and whole/parts. Inside/ outside expectations are subverted in various ways.
