Week 1

[Architecture] manipulate[s] the eye to create suspense [where] design should mesh with humanity's uniqueness, not the other way round. Dramatic curves [created through] composite manufacturing function [to] tell the body to approach, climb, explore, “so you have a craving to see the statue—and then you see her.”. She subvert[s] the way you [think] about Architecture, creat[ing] living quarters that were unique rather than embracing style.  Like a living map, designers create these increasingly intricate facades, which were both useful but stood out for their bizarrity, [to] push the boundaries of engineering. Curved, man-made landscape[s], follow the idea [that] architecture should be [dynamic], rolling out in front of you, like a living map.
