Manaugh, G., 2007. Architectural weaponry: an interview with Mark Wigley BLDGBLOG.
http://bldgblog.blogspot.com.au/2007/04/architectural-weaponry-interview-with.html.
This weeks readings gave me an insight in to the affects of architecture, and architectural related publications on people and their lifestyles. The discussion on the role and responsibilities of architects as designers was based around the influence we have. To link sustainability we have an option to change to scales that balance environmental sustainability vs low economic cost.
The article describes how it is our role to challenge the norm. Design as an innovative art can push progression on a number of social issues. The arrangement of space and ability to design human interaction means that through efficient architectural systems we can guide users.
The effect of architecture and architectural systems on society can be illustrated through sustainable building design. To design a space so that the requirement for artificial climatisation is non existent means that there is choice for users to be unsustainable but as it is more effort to do so, thus it will most likely not happen.
