Architecture is born out of the shrewd alignment of
concept and matter. The product of what Louis Kahn
termed “the measurable and the unmeasurable,” architecture
is
the fulfillment
of a spatial
premise
by
way
of
material
substance.
Throughout history architecture
has been shaped by the continual transformation of
material technologies and application methods. Its
course of development is inseparable from the shifting
terrain of technology and the social effects that result.
This intrinsic alignment with change—whether from
a welcomed or critical perspective—reveals the extent
to which architecture is inherently tied to material
innovation.
