Architecture is about constructing–putting the arcane of shapes together and providing some kind of order. This order has spatial consequences and the ability to shape daylight, to interrogate it objectively is what we can call architecture as “the art of building”. Innovation is the basis of architecture. It becomes possible to shape a building according to complex geometries and curves and folds. “Brick – by and large – isn't a structural substance any more, it's a skin. But it's what the skin looks like that counts.”
Materiality is as much a celebration of regionality as bringing dynamism to static structure, imbuing buildings with a sense of time. Daylighting lends itself to inventiveness and is a magic ingredient in architecture. Most spaces have lighting requirements tied to the functions we perform in them. The architects need to serve the public, the communal needs and some desires of the people.
