In the making of meaningful things…
With our world becoming more and more global - virtual and less defined, the need for defining the “Heimat” has become greater than ever. Meaning has become more important than ever. Falling Waters by Frank Lloyd Wright, transcends the physical to become an an icon; to become a “Meaningful Things”. It epitomized progress without being Industrial... A symbol of innovation whilst acknowledging the context without trying to imitate or assimilate.
The wordplay is important as the “Industrial” refers to the systemization of technology. Falling Waters defined (at that stage) the difference between Building and Architecture. Today, however, Architecture is moving more and more towards the system; or architecture’s critical relationship to the system within which it functions. The complex contextual matrix of fitting into the global as well as the neighbourhood has brought architecture to a cross road. With cities and communities becoming virtual the role of the architect as “Place Maker” is changing. Identifying with certain culture, without actually or physically being at a certain location has become the norm. Gathering meaning is becoming increasingly arbitrary.
