PS1:debate
here are a couple of cuts from a discussion i was involved in about the new PS1 infill: pics: http://archinect.com/gallery/albums/userpics/ps1-sur.jpg

Sustainability: who cares, thats not the point
Functional: Its a folly - functionality is moot
Relevant: Debatable, but thats its function to an extent
Are people allowed to walk through it, or is it just to be gazed upon? I assume it will be fully accessible - I see there is a rope around it at the moment.
I quite like it, but initially I was thrown by the organic [shudder to use that word] forms.
I also quite like the fact that the human hand has been involved, instead of what you might expect from more fabrication-driven projects.

Originality?
Hasnt this been done a million times over? Greg Lynn is going to be dead and gone and rookie architects are still going to be making this shit, thinking themselves the first. You dont even know if you can move through it! Yeah, thats architecture. "Sustainability.who cares." Exactly. somepeople will throw any number of toxins in the air to masterbate in front of their peers. And how deep does this debate go? "It looks cool. It looks organic....maybe" Heavy, man.

what defines good architecture?
is it aesthetics, style, functionality, purity, professional approval, public approval, or character? is it art or construction? or is it too ambiguous to define? it really makes my head hurt and i wanted to hear your smarty pants opinions.

you'll get nothing......and like it
as an architect, where do we draw the line between giving the client what they want and what they don't know they need.
