Architecture Without Permanence
author(s):Wen Tao Bi
Summary
The economic crisis has big influences on development; its depressing vibe is not a new phenomenon; this however has taught us that recessions are not only periods of mass firing and budget cuts, but also that context is a forever changing element; that time does not allow anything to stay the constant.
NDSM is at the forefront of this phenomenon. its temporary state of NDSM reflect such change; exposing the weak connections between people, functions, objects and time. "architecture without Permanence" aims to reconnect existing and emerging people, functions, space and time; providing adaptability, flexibility and real time feedback system.
"architecture without Permanence" is an exploration upon a new intervention for the treatment of contextual considerations. taking up the challenge of adapting to the changes of context; of its environment; of its functionality and of its people. can architecture really survive without any permanence?
