The inside out approach of design, keeping the human element at the highest priority is a very humane way of approaching a design.
It would be interesting to see how organic Architecture responds to the Urban context where site constraints force it to be outside-in. |

Very cunning, Kevin. Do you post these articles in response to what is being raised in the discussion forum 
Regardless of that, it is interesting to see a lesser known example of Steiner's philosophy in practise. Like the previous poster says, the architect is lucky to have a relatively blank canvas - expanse of agricultural land. I am still not enirely convinced that the internal activities inform the shape of the design. A lot will be down to intuition. What I would call a touchy-feelly building 
A great precedent for my current college project too. |

Hi
I think it would be a refreshing attitude --- that a building shuld not act as an emty Icon shell , that the detail quality would be once again , after decades of building surface lookalike with oldfasion building core , again act as what it is, instead of just displaying the clotches.
I don't think we shuld just engage Steiner idears ,but they realy are refreshing , --- maby they are irelevant compared the next edgy or mindless Icon, but they focus on qualities long forgotten ; nice inviroments and good houses.
Be as arogant you please, stay with Icons and continue to see a building structure as a manifest of dull artistic expressions making it a hell to put in the air without a bundle of compromises --- Steiner even bound in craftmanship not avaible in today's steel and glass Icons, make a perfect vision about what architecture could bring with today's tools , if you just give it a thought about what it is today's architecture bring . |
