However, this project is pointless in it's objectives, and as an aesthetic object. Looking at the Rural Studio, students are much more productive, and are designing buildings that are both sophisticated, and elegant. This is just a wall of rectums.

This is a form finding exersize that embeds gravitationaly motivated material computation into the process. I want to make clear that I dont believe that this project as is will address any other pertinent issues in architecture aside from challenging an idea about a way of making, about design process void of significant architectural criteria, and about aesthetics. we are pushed significantly by our tutors and ourselves in core studio work( this is a workshop ) to deal with issues of progam, site, scale, structure, movement, reuse, etc....

I really worry for the current wave of architecture graduates.

Why do they have to insist in creating computational equations that always seem to bring complex forms made out of random parameters? I wonder how can students like this go work for an architecture studio and produce tender drawings and survey the constrution process. How is it possible to relate this kind of work to the work of Antonio Gaudi, Frei Otto and Felix Candela?! This is a generation of random forms without any purpose or function. I'm sure they created these forms and now they must be struggling to find out what kind of programs we can put inside. Why can they just assume not to be architects but digital sculptures?! It would make more sense indeed.. Why can’t an architecture student from AA be an architect?
