Thank you for sharing your time with us! I liked how you mentioned that we need to approach every site and project with humility, I think that it is great advice. I also liked how you spoke about civic space and the importance of human interaction and connection.
Thank you for your time and thoughts. I really like this idea of designing with "humility". I think that's a great way of looking at designing carefully around existing context - a way that Iv'e never heard it described before. I think a lot of architecture students today are being taught to design something that stands out or makes a statement, but it is just as valuable, if not more valuable, to be able to design something that fits in, and doesn't disrupt what was existing around it. Good points. Thank you!
Hi Lori! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This point you made at 5:12 especially stood out to me: how to make a democratic space in architecture. With many people bringing up the importance of diversity, it is crucial that contemporary architects consider how to make space for everyone to feel included regardless of who they are.
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate your point about needing to remove problematic historical artifacts but realizing that they need not be hidden or erased but be used for educational purposes. I feel as though these commemorative artifacts are all about context and the context in which it's displayed is quite telling of the values of a society.
Thank you for your time! I really liked your comment that we shouldn't design to emulate the past, but rather think of how to integrate our current culture in a way to honor the past. It is a difficult balance to find, especially when learning to design in cities that have much more history and age than what we are used to.
I agree with your point that it is important to continue to add to historical cities such as Rome. A rich history such as Rome's does a fine job at informing the designs of the future.
To look at Rome as a city that has been rebuilt over and over again is an interesting take I never thought of. It makes designing in Rome tricky but also not impossible to take. I agree that it takes a lot of research and learning historical context can help aid this design endeavor.
