WEEK 1: PUBLIC WORKS + WORKFLOWS

Read HabermasJürgen – ThePublicSphere(1964) before class on Tuesday Sept. 2nd.

“The Concept. By “the public sphere” we mean first of all a realm of our
social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed.
Access is guaranteed to all citizens. A portion of the public sphere comes
into being in every conversation in which private individuals assemble to
form a public body.”  Habermas, The Public Space Sphere, 1964.

“If architects can re-prioritize authorship of processes over authorships of things, we can reassemble creation and execution, and re-synthesize form and function. We will regain liability, but harvest control and we will be able to happily navigate from concept to generation, through politics, value-engineering, and procurement strategies, to punch lists and opening parties. We will harbor less self-pity, make more money, and construct better architecture.”                             Joshua Prince-Ramus, Rex Architects 2010.
