Meeting Space, Folly and Lifts
How do the folly, the lifts and the school all link to the theory?
The lift, school and the folly address the conflict between pragmatism and radical design in architecture. I have designed the school to represent pragmatism through using purely cubes and rectangular prisms in its construction. However, I have then used extra boxes to pile them over one another, using pragmatic shapes in a more radical way. Similarly, the lifts contrast against the cubes of the school as they are both angular and asymmetrical.

Article Mashup
The architect’s task is finding “a way to incorporate and integrate differences, not through compromise or by choosing sides, but by tying conflicting interests into a Gordian knot of new ideas.” Architecture is the greatest of the arts, and it encompasses thinking that other arts don’t even deal with. Like relationship of the work to the individual human being – the person who uses it; the person who experiences it; the person who sees it; and how that person perceives that space. Yet Architecture is not origami. A drawing cannot be folded in a clever way to make a real building. A picture of a building is nomore architecture than adrawing of a sculpture isthe sculpture. To exist, the building must be built. A building is the outcome of an idea. The pragmatic problems of society are the conflict which the utopian thoughts of the architect try to solve. I don’t say all buildings are architecture, first of all. So there’s lots of buildings that have nothing to do with architecture. They have to do with economics. They have to do with an enclosure, but I wouldn’t consider them works of architecture. To be a work of architecture is creating a work of art. Pragmatism is the philosophy that connectsan idea with its result. It measures the success of the idea by its function, its appearance and its contribution to theenvironment in which it exists. The architect is, however, together with rather than against society. It is not the traditional image of the angry young man rebelling against the establishment but rather a pleaser of the establishment, done to a such degree that it becomes a radical agenda.
