Beyond Architecture
What is the role of architecture in the contemporary world? When we wonder about the future of architecture, various tendencies come to mind. Technology and high-tech architecture, Big Data and smart cities, high-rise buildings and vertical cities, green and ecological architecture, global architecture, parametric architecture, virtual reality and the digital sphere are all subjects that form the main discourses of this domain today.
In conversation with Firouz Firouz on stir world
For me, the garden is the embodiment of the respect we hold for nature. From the very beginning, all my endeavours in architecture have been about creating this connection with nature, since the first competition I participated in, which was the Aga Khan Foundation Mimar competition to design a mosque in Jeddah. My design was in fact a field of palm trees and the mosque was under it. The building holds little significance to me but the connection of that building with the environment and nature is important. Since then, the rapid changes have pushed us to the brink of destroying the biggest garden of all which is the Earth. The destruction is more significant now and is happening on a much bigger scale. I think we are all the gardeners of the Earth. Gardening means taking care of the Earth as a mutual habitat with all the connections that exist between its creatures. It means giving back as much as we take. This idea is rooted in my childhood experience in a garden. We played with mud and ate fruits directly from the trees and watched the seasons. We watched the stars. And we were together. I cannot separate these from life and architecture.
