Any good design is a collaboration of art and engineering, where the end result accomplishes the technical requirements and integrates itself into the world around it in an appropriate way. Neither of these can be considered alone, function has a form of its own, just like form has a function of it's own.
Architects aren't structural engineers and only in dialogue good infrastructure can be created.

- Aeolun 3y agoWhat is considered good architecture these days is also harmful to the people that need to work in it. So many new buildings seem to think that all space needs to be given over to being impressive, instead of dedicated to the people that work in it.
