SHORT TEXT OF CONCEPTS FROM TWO ARCHITECTS
FARSHID MOUSSAVI
1.Excess vs minimalism.
2.must have a function.
3.Sense of order through repetition and symmetry.4.Her
research looks at identifying instruments that create intelligent and creative
forms.
5.Massavi tends not to borrow from theories external to
architecture, instead uses theories that are specifically architectural:
the diagram,landscape,blank
envelopes,tessellation,iconography
6.Architecture needs to produce “novel effects” in order for
culture to evolve.
7.The built environment plays a critical role in the lives
of people.
8.It is not what forms represent but if they function
effectively.

FREI OTTO
1.Collaborative approach to architecture – between
biologists, architects, engineers, philosophers, historians, naturalists,
environmentalists.
2.Systematic method of invention.
3.Early adopter of computational form finding.
4.Optimization of materials, structure and form, i.e. spider
webs, soap bubbles, grid shells, tents.
5.“Architecture is the continuation of landscape.”
6.Democratic architecture.
7.Temporary architecture.
8.More with less.
