Interactive Architecture!
Writing about architecture has always been a passion of mine. Form, details and aesthetics has always played a huge role in architectural expression, and it is through these that architecture has played such a beneficial role in organising and framing our social fabric.
Now don't let us forget about function, it doesn't need to be even mentioned,
it goes without saying, utility is essential.
Function is such a fundamental and basic requirement that Architecture has no need to address it, Architecture has more important issues to explore such as political and social implications and interpretations of form and aesthetics.
However, it is time to break this unwritten rule, since Dr. Cameron planted the seed of interactive architecture 2 years ago with his AI mechanical monstrosity which he claimed to be architecture, the frenzy of the population to actuate their homes and other prominent buildings, form and aesthetics has been thrown out the window. Functionality is invaded everyone's minds to the extent that architectural form and aesthetics has been completely forgotten. My biggest fear is that due to this infestation, architecture and cultural values will be lost leading to the end of society as we know it.
