PART A. CASE OF INNOVATION
A.1 ARCHITECTURE AS A DISCOUSE “It’s not about the pieces; it’s how the pieces work together.” ----Ice T has an opinion
Architecture, as an art which is given by lots of people as different definition, is a dominant part of various idea of its content. Then there comes the Architecture discourse. “Architecture, then, as a discourse, discipline, and form, operates at the intersection of power, relations of production, culture, and representation and is instrumental to the construction of our identities and our differences, to shaping how we know the world.�----Dutton, Thomas A. and Lian Hurst Mann, eds (1996) For me, Architecture is not only a three dimensional building that is eye pleasing or as a shelter to human beings, but also about combining the sundry of disciplines and aspects like aesthetic, psychology, political science, humanities, and now parametric modeling and algorithmic technology. It is alive.
