Finding Form



"Our times demand lighter, more energy-saving, more mobile and more adaptable, in short more natural buildings, without disregarding the demand for safety and security. This logically leads to the further development of light constructions, to the building of tents, shells, awnings and air supported membranes...

Tomorrow's architecture will again be minimal architecture, an architecture of the self-forming and self-optimization processes suggested by human beings. This muse be seen as part of the new developing ecological ecological system of the people who have densely and peacefully settled the surface of the earth. It is an architecture that respects genuine traditions and the multiplicity of forms in animate and inanimate nature."
