The search for structure

Abstract

It has always been an important concern in architecture to develop a design which does not rely on actual trends but which accords to a deeper kind of truth. This requires the search for and the designation of structure. On the other side the designer has intentions and visions. Subjectivity intervenes unavoidably at any point in the design process. To find the right balance between truth and the individual creative act; to differentiate between the invariant and the designer's skill has to be the goal in architecture.
