THE SHAPE OF CULTURE IN THE POST-BLOB ERA

摘要

Through more than 20 years of practice, SHoP has taken a critical and often contrary view of the role of technology tools in the design, representation and delivery of architecture.Tech development and experimentation, material and digital, is built into the ethos of the studio - but never for novelty's sake. SHoP is always aware of the allure, even the pitfalls, of new technologies. Innovation at SHoP is in the service of empowering creativity and safeguarding the human element in our designs.The challenge, then, is for the industry to exercise equal parts curiosity and restraint, applying next-generation processes and techniques towards increasing the impact of the built environment on culture.
