THE MEDIATORS
Architecture News - Jan 15, 2009 - 14:16 10305 views
The architect is foremost a mediator—negotiating the desires of the mind and all the contingent specifics of the situation at hand. By working between the abstract realm of possibilities and the concrete world of consequences, the primary skill of the architect is the ability to make the unavoidable compromises of getting things done dissolve into a wash of intention. Regardless of scale, budget, or brief, acts of architecture are always the result of such mediations, and introduce new relationships within the participating public.
