 ·  Idea  International Design Workshop

With the development of the Internet, the vision of the “ real-time and exchange in Internet” has become reality. Areas over huge distances can be communicated with one click of a mouse. We use then this global networking to exchange our know-how.

Here is a workplace for architects and students, emphasizing the encounter and exchange between different disciplines.

In our Design Workshop we research for Applying new technology and developing the Architecture projects in different cultures, different places and different climate and their relations.

Main areas of the Workshop in Internet are: culture and technology ...

How do you judge a Architectural Project?

The answer, of course, depends on who is the judge.

If you are the developer, the main criterion is how successful it is being leased and that is measured by how quickly it leases and at what rents.

If you are an architect, the main criterion is how much of your idea survives in the finished product and how well appreciated that idea is by the developer and other developers or someone else.

If you are the public, the main criterion is whether the project has enhanced or worsened its neighbourhood and this criterion is measured both aesthetically and economically.

If you are a politician, the main criterion is how the project's economic impact on your district and this is measured in short- and long-term changes in tax revenues, jobs, and image.

If you are a lender, the main criterion is how safe the investment in the project is.

If you are a real estate broker, the main criterion is how efficient, prestigious and economic its spaces are as compared with current market inventory.

If you are an architect and an architecture critic, all of these considerations should be measured as much as possible and balanced.

If you are writing architectural criticism for another project, one is constrained greatly by contemporariness, developing the project in the new context. Depending upon the critic's venue, a substantial portion of the commentary might be consumed by another.

Virtually every Project can teach lessons and every development has its own contextual problems and opportunities.
