WEEK 01 - Architectural Fiction

Key Concepts I got out of the first Lecture:

• "Learn to Explore and Explore to Learn"

• The need for Architects to respond to future needs, often we design for the now but by the time the project is delivered following, planning, design, approvals and construction the building may be out dated and more suitable technologies available. So in essence remember to look to the future. The Diagram below illustrates this concept.

• Do not be affraid to try something new, the best way to learn is by making mistakes.
