Making Matters


FG Architecture and Design MethodsArchitecture is the result of building processes. Not only the product of architecture, but the process of architecture is of the essence as a living, dynamic and intelligent force that embraces the past, present and future all at once. And the process of architecture is about synthesis. It responds to a diversity of concerns through holistic design definitions. Materiality and consumption of finite natural resources must be seen alongside their impact on human wellbeing and human resourcefulness, given the need to radically rethink the consequences of contemporary building habits that are now recognised as unsustainable.

To turn things around, human ingenuity and sensitivity must again be the central driving force of all that we make. The knowledge of first principles are at the heart of innovation, and discrimination that is required while adhering to norms and codes, or superceding them.

Making matters! It empowers, gives agency. Thinking with the hands provides ample opportunity for holistic learning and unblocks creativity. The act of building produces knowledge just as the resulting knowledge produces buildings. Also, what we make makes us. We need to experiment to evolve.
