LIFE WORK – HYBRID OF EXTREMES

RoTo Studio

Sci-Arc
Summer 2011
may 5 2011 (amended)

Now is a time of faith and fear.
The world you are about to inherit is not the one you had envisioned.
The conflict of generations is upon you, and you are ready.

Things have changed more than you could have imagined and
you now have to find comfort in uncertainty.
No problem you are still young enough to consider uncertainty a friend.
Life has become a real adventure again and now,
you have the opportunity to invent your own life.
There are none to inherit.

So this studio will attempt to answer the questions,
“is it possible to invent a project, a life, and a society?”
“is it possible to be a leader without any followers?”
“is it possible to have a long term vision in a short cycle world?”
“is it possible to do good and do well, simultaneously?”
“is it possible to find an architectural equivalent?”

The studio      will bring together two themes, a changing world and inventing a life.
The medium   will be Architecture and Landscape.
The locations will be urban and wilderness, networked into a conceptual whole.
The themes    will be change, conservation, equilibrium, reciprocity, speed, and leadership.
The project     will be a place for social or environmental or economic entrepreneurs.  
The objective   will be to imagine a different world and create positive change.

I am looking forward to working closely with you on this.
