We do not need any more buildings. We need to re-imagine, reuse, and relive the structures we already have. Architecture should not be a question of building but of questioning, opening up, and of unbuilding. There is an environmental reason for this: we cannot afford to waste non-renewable resources and land to create new buildings. We also have to realize that what makes us at home in the modern world is no longer just structures that imprison us, but more those images, forms, and spaces that let us play active and critical roles in our society. This lecture will show some recent attempts to make sense of our modern world and to offer responses that either come out of the discipline and knowledge that is proper to architecture, or that address those issues proper to architecture.
