Main interests of TAALab. (Towards A new Architecture Lab.) are including ‘Future’, ‘Tools’ and ‘Neutrality & Entelechy’ of architecture. The lab will select & research topics and issues related key words above from human, architecture city and nature.

Future

Novelty and difference are inevitable. Since the only absolute truth that human beings can rely on in the universe is ‘Everything must change’, it’s very hard to be suspicious about the hypothesis ‘The future of architecture will be different from its present and past’. Architectural design in its nature as creation belongs to the future. It stands on the past and present grounds of humans, architecture, city, and nature, but, eventually constitutes the upcoming.

Tool

Concepts, ideas, diagrams, sketches, drawings, images, models, 3D modeling and BIM, etc are just tools for the prediction and representation of architecture before its existence. However, the fate of architecture in the future depends on the current possibilities and limits of the tools that produce architecture.

Neutrality and Entelechy

Entelechy, the immaterial values of architecture - maximum possibilities of interpretation and choice; come from neutrality independent from any imposition including efficiency, function, aesthetics, style, and message. The architecture of neutrality can be explained as the platform to host multiple changes and interpretations based on a rational combination of the technical and physical substructure.
