Description:

Architects are becoming the fashion designers of the future, shaping events to come and reflecting the world back to itself. By reimagining public space, public forces, and collective imagination, architects are evolving into public scientists, drawing inspiration not only from the discipline itself but also from the semi-conscious preoccupations of contemporary culture—glamour, media, advertising, and celebrity.

Architecture must engage with the everyday dreams of the modern world, moving beyond presenting its creations as isolated, untouchable objects. Instead, it should embrace the complexities of our time. As explored in MOVE, the architect’s role is being redefined within a landscape of technological, public, and economic transformation, with a focus on rethinking organisational structures to meet the challenges of the future.
