On the crisis of architecture. Notes from different years

Abstract

Not to see a crisis in architecture means not to see or understand the nature of architecture. While the volume of architectural work is increasing, its level is steadily falling. Designing and construction with the participation of architects differs little from ‘anonymous’ design or design without architects. The presence of some bright personalities in architecture does not prove that the whole architecture is healthy and is culturally and socially relevant. The crisis of humanity is the basis for degradation of contemporary architecture.
