Phase 2: Analyzing 'Standards'

 

     In the era of prefabrication industry, we seem to be obsess with this technology and were blind to the tectonic quality that we once made. 

I selected Cha-rern Wissawagum, 1994 as a failure in architecture because of it's obsession with these technologies; prefabrication glass, air condition system, fluorescent light and etc...

     what architect try to solve is now not the context or function but those mechanic system, where to hide those ugly structure and mechanic staffs. Space planning are very poor and window facade that run through the building are become impervious and not related to its function.

      Section of the building with large number ideally shows the concept of prefabritcaion since we no longer need to see specific type of windows or doors. We look from the catalogue number instead.

     architecture become repeat, typical and generic, architect conveniently used it without concern in quality in architecture and as a result architecture became somewhat only quantity.
