Housing Typologies

It all started with...

Living spaces in conspicuous geographic locations.  Technology allows us to build fantastic structures in half the time. Today, we can radically change the skyline of a city in a few years as it is the case of Miami and we might run the risk of urban sprawl as it is the case in Los Angeles but we can always engineer better faster ways of building.

As technology increasingly becomes the fundamental driver of urban change, I can see technology as an enabler for environmental awareness and a device that provides immediate feedback for human needs.  Perhaps technology may help define new cultural relationships and the idea of the architect as the shaper of buildings as singular objects in space, will be preceded by more interesting and functional forms even imitating natural habitats and systems.
