The term architecture (from the Greek word αρχιτεκτονική, pronounced architektonike) was originated from αρχιτέκτων (ARCHITECTU) "contractor", and also from the combination of αρχι-(archi-), "head" or "leader" with τέκτων (tekton), a "builder" or "carpenter." The architecture, as a profession, is currently, the activity of designing and planning the construction of buildings and other structures and spaces, aimed mainly to serve the human needs.
Much has been written about the influence of architecture on the quality of life for its residents or any person who makes use of it. I never could admit the functional architecture versus the aesthetic architecture, being either more or less important, not independent or solitary in the creation of any space to be occupied by one person.
The "Digital Architecture" here is not the era of computers, but I'm speaking of the brands that each presents, unique and singular in his thumb. It is the individuality that makes the design of adequate space to those who will occupy it. The architect must be prepared to find the professional that feature and thus respond appropriately to your tools, making this area in full attendance to all the needs of its future occupants.
How to ensure that my project is a "perfect plan" and is correct as I can calmly take this commitment is to a child, an elderly lady, a couple of newly married couples, a maid, a janitor or any other that will use a space designed for me - I have taken no account of who really is the end user?
"What if only to make business with projects developed after sold all their units, and to know in advance, all its future occupants." Utopia? Impossible? Maybe ... Maybe not ... Is there some way that allows us to design knowing exactly for whom?
This was one of the main reasons that led me in 1980, seeking in the interior architecture, the direct contact with customers and the freedom of creation, both in artistic design, and, above all, in the absence of standards and codes of laws and decrees rigid and restrictive, in addition to natural conventions, proposed by the society and environment in which it is inserted. The focus of my position today, is to propose the study of the consequences of design projects of condominiums buildings and urban spaces in the lives of people. In addition, get through bad examples already built, the lessons to be learned to avoid their repetition.
Little is said of the effects of bad architecture and an urban design in most cases wrong. In such cases, the professionals believe that take into account your users, but in fact guided on what is best for most - and this approach means alone, the unmet needs of many. The results of this process are possible, among other harmful effects to health and quality of life of residents. A space created so disqualified enjoyable activities can turn into annoying and stressful routines. You can change our mood without knowing the cause, can harm our health in very, and in extreme discomfort for long periods, cause our death.
Say that a project of a property is not qualified to be frivolous to me, because I have to take into account important issues, and evaluate various reasons such as cost, time, risks, available technology, market, etc.. However, you must first prepare and empower those who have the obligation to supervise a project of "building regrettable." It is common for residential units are extremely poor, but very well commercially makeup, creating irresistible incentives that focus on only what you want to show.
This "deceived population" needs to become more aware and demanding, through the vehicle of information and examples that make learning to immediately repudiate such projects inconsequential. With so many gains in terms of quality of life in recent decades, it is expected that such projects are finally buried, and thus start up a new era in the relationship between who is to be sold and who buys for use.
Perhaps the problem of insecurity that affects us as citizens can be resolved. I believe it is a consequence of inconsequential acts of who should provide examples to be followed but, by contrast, have increasingly creative ways of how to "sell her mother," while preparing another deal with another loved one, now developing the advertising misleading for the next suckers. This virus has spread in almost all human activities, will only be destroyed with the modification of unhealthy and self-centered mentality, who has installed this power.
Plan to build a million homes? In surveys that are based the "competent authorities"? Neither they, nor the architects, builders and technicians in planning, have the slightest idea of what you are doing, the type of building or condominium which is to build. The results of these projects, are political and / or financial, maximized to the maximum, are priorities. This is due to come on stage, the Project Manager, he is able to balance the professional interests of all stakeholder (involved). He is able to create not only the Plans Costs, Time, Risk, etc.., But mainly a communication plan differently, with a new system to do that all stakeholders were not only heard (and listened), but assisted in their needs.
If investors, entrepreneurs and real estate incorporated, the architects and builders, and buyers of buildings have the appropriate knowledge, based on observation and examples of other companies more aware and experienced, then understood that a building is not multifamiliar any property that can be resolved such as who designs a shop or an office. The public can not be considered the same as others. He can only be observed as a result set of an opinion poll or a local "study of the mass." There is live. You can not miss! This type of residential condominium has to be special, its spaces must meet all the wishes of every one who will live and not a general all or a "large portion of the population."
I like the project architect and manager of properties multifamiliares, if I would be able to provide identification to what people seek, individually, as his concepts of conducting life. My happiness would be to create environments that ensure the happiness of their residents. Allow, with my work, that people value their own lives every day.
I wish that people interact with their environments, enjoying his space and personally designed and created especially for them. To be stimulated by various forms of solutions, which together could have produced, making this a viable architecture and, unquestionably human, personal and digital, which is the proposal to be made fairer to all who enjoy.
For me, the biggest dilemma of architecture, always, beyond the eternal relationship "man x space", is an account that has to result in sum. " Resulting in "plus" for real and personal way to each decide, in accordance with their conceptions, which has to be "the quality of life."
