And I am glad to see Stefanie addressing the issue of connectedness. I wonder if we can see this more effectively in a class full of Interiors people, than we would see in Architecture. This is an area that has been addressed for decades by ID though I would like to see it crossing the scale spectrum. Bioregionalism addresses connectedness. Interiors (sometimes) addresses it. Shaun will be discussing it in tomorrow's class at the planning scale. Is Architecture out of the picture?Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964703088370680407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291500733280971066.post-83229740875333930862012-02-22T13:57:20.174-08:002012-02-22T13:57:20.174-08:00This saddens me.

I will still probably check out the exhibit, but I'll definitely go in with a healthy dose of skepticism -- though of course I would have most likely gone in like that anyway. You're totally right: band aid solutions aren't going to get us anywhere, and as I've been reading for our sector projects what we really need is a relatively radical reinvention of our previous notions. One thing stressed again and again (and which you mention above) is the concept of 'bioregionalism' where not only local climate and indigenous materials are factored into design but also the idea of connecting people to place and an inherent celebration of local culture and practice. What a shame this exhibit misses the mark!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874965813352507636noreply@blogger.com
