I fear that to define my current affliction to architecture is to define my stand too prematurely. My impression of architecture is in a constant state of flux. It is ever-changing and ever-messy; for it to be anything but would be too dull for it to hold much interest for me.
Of course there are the obvious considerations and lists of guiding principles common to most architectural design, but my priorities to them shift constantly. I tend to be more drawn to the pragmatics for now, beacuse the project one designs is not for one but for others. Sometimes for many others.
The subject of interest can fluctuate. Presently, it is content and structure. In the course of this thesis it might change, or not, I'm not suite sure.
One thing's for sure I will try not to do. I will not design an architecture for architects. Please leave all sexy renders on the floor on your way out.

What is pragmatics? Is this a system in itself? It is said that Koolhaas is a pragmatic architect. Perhaps read the reading for 'Social Responsibility" because it is by a philosopher of Pragmatism.Anyway what are your interests right now?
