EXP 2: Concepts

Concepts 

Adolf Loos

• Ornament results in the undue obsolescence of everyday objects.
• Ornament is a sign of degeneracy.
• Loos alludes to the timeless qualities of architecture devoid of ornamentation.
• Focus on uses of space.
• Loos equates ornaments with “savagery”.
• Progress of culture is associated with the deletion of ornament from everyday objects.
• Eliminating wastefulness.
• The urge to ornament one’s self is the baby talk of painting.
• A blank canvas can be more.
• Buildings often composed of pure forms and justified by their economic practicality and utilitarian qualities.
• To not mask the true nature and beauty of materials by useless and indecent ornament.
• The true vocabulary of architecture lies into the materials themselves. The building should remain dumb on the outside and contrast austere facades with lavish interiors.

Rural Studio

• “Architecture more than any other art form, is a social art and must rest on the social and cultural base of its time and place” – Samuel Mockbee.
• Establishing the ethos of recycling, reusing and remaking.
• The studio questions what should be built rather than what can be built.
• Everyone both rich and poor deserves good design.
• Rural studio encourages the use of wood as a renewable and readily available material throughout the studio.
• The initial sketch is always an emotion not a concept.
