1.) Indeterminate Architecture – Architecture that is uncertain and without end is an interesting thought. Most works of art are said to never be finished so is it the same for architectural works? The possibility for more definitely exists and is evident as buildings are always getting extended and having parts added to them along their lifespan.
To say that buildings have to have a capacity for change is an interesting one and possibly a strong point for all architects and designers to consider. The modular buildings referenced are one way that this can be done but I believe their is ways that we haven't explored yet.
2.) Buildings with no capacity to change - To say that the can only become slums or ancient monuments is a loaded statement. I believe firstly that all buildings have the capacity to change like anything on this earth. This then renders in my opinion that slums or ancient ruins just haven't had a chance to adapt through someone with a vision to see it happen.
3.) Expendability - I liked the notion that we as designers are coming into an age where design is departing form 'doing the most with the least'. Although I respect the idea of innovative cost-effective thinking, a new modern opportunity presents itself to explore design without boundary.
4.) Modern architecture should be like free jazz - This paints a wonderful and flamboyant picture that architecture can be like the cool illustrious era of the new york style 1920's to 1940's jazz movement. Free yet refined with a hint of cool and elegance.
