Recently I found a Rem Koolhaas twitt (16 Feb 09) related to the questions I raise in this blog….
Rem Koolhaas twitt: “Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it.”
–
Well…. Rem Koolhaas is no doubt one of the influential architects in our time….
–
We learned in this blog that the notions “inspiration” and “copy- past”, In other words “Influence”…. are very delicate issues, we are obliged to recognize them and develop techniques to deal with them….
–
Probably you encountered in my blog , the “Conscious Inspiration Method“
A method that is aware of today availability of information…. and develop tools to help us architects and designers deal with it.
We don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired (influence) from relevant buildings. Once we develop our tools, it will lead us to high quality and creative architecture.
