Metabolic Tectonics

Historical conceptions of architecture view buildings as static artifacts within the ever changing global network of natural, economic, and social processes. In most cases, our built environment resists rather than accommodates these ever-changing conditions, necessitating intensive renovation or redevelopment. More fundamentally, the realm of design is thought to neatly conclude with the completion of the building, thus rendering off-limits processes of subtraction, reconstruction, succession and change.
