Global Culture
Make a case for an understanding of global culture over universal design – even if that global culture is partly digital or virtual. A “global culture” approach might require a careful calibration or attention to local circumstances – contexts as sources of history, memory, belonging, climate, carpentry, and so on.
With the cooperation and integration of BIM, architecture is moving quickly towards a new normative architecture (attached pic). This architecture’s ubiquity is tied to the availability of parts and ease of construction, but also to the pervasive use of Revit as a design tool.
Write a short essay of no more than 300 words, take a stand “for” or “against” the global proliferation of the mid-rise BIM building.
Make technical or functional points to support your argument, but you must also convincingly use the Frampton or Sassen reading to persuade, or make, your case.
