50th Anniversary

Different Sensibility And Technology

There is a new excitement about the design potential of architecture that will blossom as each new decade approaches. When post-modern architecture had its short-lived rage 10 years ago, many architects were laughing at Buck Rogers' visions for the future. Today, access to computer-generated forms and new developments in glass, metal and synthetics allow us to believe that architecture in the future will reflect a different sensibility and technology that the familiar styles of the past.

Architects still cherish the valuable constants of human scale, spatial experience, natural light and other key characteristics we have learned from historical examples. The reinterpretation of these architectural qualities with new means is the design search that we will continue to enjoy in the future.
