Week 3 #5 Concepts

Integration (Betrand Goldberg)

Goldberg’s vision was a combination of technical knowledge and personal insights that cut across more traditional understandings. Belonging within a larger modernist agenda, his work was notable for its individualistic, unique solutions to complex planning and building problems and suggests a way in which ideas and architectural solutions could be combined to create something more profound. 



Emergence (Jeanne Gang)

Gang's careful attention to the materials, and a constant research leading to innovations in terms of sustainability and fabrication, allowed to an emergence in distinctive architecture that did not rely on the old modernist expressions, but rather delved into a more reductionist and curvilinear form of articulation of space. Paul Goldberger described her as “reclaim[ing] the notion that thrilling and beautiful form can still emerge out of the realm of the practical.”
