November 2 Dallas,
Nasher Sculpture Center
In architecture, the word
innovation can be understood simply to mean the art of making buildings better
with each effort. In addition, study and experimentation are required if
innovation is to advance the cause of architecture. The process of building
acknowledges that design is rooted in the activity of making as much as it is in
the finished artifact. Technology in buildings cannot be addressed without the
discussion of innovations that lead to moments of breakthrough. But when
innovations seem so deeply tied to the contextual locale of any given project,
an important question remains: How can innovations in technology be
transported, mutated, re-appropriated in other scenarios whose fundamental
contexts may differ vastly? How can building serve as a tool for architectural
innovation? How can architectural tools inform building processes? The
fundamental relationship of architect to builder and engineer may require
rethinking to better fold the art and beauty of technology and land into the
collaborative processes of architecture. Technology Innovation Land addresses
the inconstancy of ground, land and territories in relationship to built forms
that reside in, on and above it.
