The State of the Art of Architecture,
Architecture is in a critical state. With digital software erasing its history, architecture needs a radical new city of preservation. With this being said, the state of architecture lies in building types that do not yet exist. Architects have selective memories about the history of architecture, and therefore cannot perceive beyond their own legacies. Thus architecture finds itself in an era of so-called digital expansion, but it is really in a state of constant repetition. The digital expansion of software and its ability to rapidly generate diversity is a direction that architects have blindly embraced. But rather than embracing the digital realm, architects should be including precedents of historically analogous structures into the process of design, producing a state of architecture in which traditions of building can evolve forward into possible types of cities for the future.
