“If you look at the last 150 years, about every 30 years or so, a new scientific discipline emerges that starts spinning out technologies and capturing people's imaginations. Go back to 1900: That industry was chemistry. People had chemistry sets. In the 1930s, it was the rise of physics and physicists. They build on each other. Chemists laid the experimental understanding for the physicists to build their theories. It was three physicists who invented the transistor in 1947. That started the information revolution. Today, kids get computers.” PeopleIfsYearsLooksKidsTodayLastsThreeUnderstandingImaginationTechnologyInformationTheoryRevolutionIndustryDisciplineComputerPhysicsChemistryPhysicistSpinning1930sChemistTransistors Author:Paul Saffo

“I cannot pursue my architecture without considering the minimization of energy consumption, simple and direct technologies, a respect for site, climate, place and culture. Together, these disciplines represent for me a fantastic platform for experimentation and expression. Of particular importance is the junction of the rational and the poetic resulting hopefully in works that resonate and belong to where they reside.” TogetherCultureEnergySimpleTechnologyParticularExpressionDisciplineDirectImportanceClimateArchitectureRationalPursueHopefullyFantasticPoeticPlatformsConsumptionSiteConsideringExperimentationJunctionEnergy Consumption Author:Glenn Murcutt
