The 14th Weekly Opus "Coming Full Circle"

~Wednesday, 6 May 2009

Community
Community refers organization or group in our lives. However, it can be defined a little bit different way of perspective by architectural perspective because as the basic intention of architecture is to provide a space for people where they can stay together. For example, there is an architecture for a person such as private space and for people such as public space. Therefore, an architecture works as a medium which ties people all together. "Architecture is something many people take for granted, moving through it and using it without a second thought (Roth, 3)."

Stewardship
The definition of stewardship means ability or talent for taking care of something or managing something. For example, instructors' stewardship are how to instruct students well and janitors' stewardship are how to maintain assigned place or building. In the field of architectural design, it can be an own style of architect designer. That is why there is not exactly same architectures if its design intent is not creating twins. Moreover, each person has his or her own way of thinking.
"In architecture as in all other operative arts, the end must direct the operation. The end is to build well. Well-building hath three conditions; Commoditie, Firmness, and Delight (Roth, 11)."

Innovation
There are a lot of Innovations in our daily life such as alarm clock, coffe maker, and vehicles. For the architectural design field, it can be re-modeling or applying new way of design characters. There would be many helpful material to accomplish innovation of design such as new material, technology, and industry revolution. "This has led to a change of emphasis from fashionablility to building usage and careful use of resources (Massey, 219)."

Authenticity
In the field of architectural design, Authenticity could be seen like reasonable things. For example, is this a reasonable place for a person? or is this reasonable location of a particular artifact for a building? As a writer is delivering his or her own thought by writing article with reasonable supporting ideas, an architect is delivering his or her own design intents by building an architecture with reasonable materials, techniques, and so on. "A Gothic church has been remodeled as a hotel, with the restaurant on a newly constructed mezzanine to the right (Massey, 230)."

There are many terms which help to understand architecture and it has been re-defined by an architectural design student. Whatever the terms are, it is all about to tie people as a community with architectures. Stewardship is one of the important thing to concern to maximize the hidden potential possibilities of architectural design. Innovation will help to create better quality and advanced architecture, but it is necessary to have authenticity to accomplish any styles of design.
