Roller-Coaster Construction

The creation of awe and surprise. The " What happens when you do this" approach. The " don't ruin it, I don't want to know how this architecture turns out" routine. Architecture seems to be.....trying to have fun ( of course in a strict and calculated, systematic way?!) Fun according to Me and the Foreign Office Architects is " exploring the processes of construction and engineering on a variety of levels", along with "avoiding preconceived effects". This seems exciting to me because this is the equivalent of an architect creating a 'blind-contour' drawing ( some what in real time). The results of such drawings are never what you would expect, which is exactly what the Foreign Office Architects are going for.
I applaud FOA for their fresh take on architectural construction and exploration of material. Clearly their ideas are in danger by conventional processes, mediocre clients and mistrust by the public. I feel that they need to begin to educate the masses on new technologies in order to reduce the the amount of resistance that innovative architecture runs into. There should also be a resurgence of the idea that much of the new technologies that are on the rise come from the reconstitution of older techniques and ideas that have been refurbished.
I feel that the future of FOA's approach relies heavily on technology, and for good reason. The Roller-Coaster Construction much like the real thing can only go as far as the innovative material can stretch. One can only hope that the construction of new materials will lead architecture to defying the laws of physics and expanding the threshold of our imaginations
