In this meeting i elaborated on the book i currently finished : architecture inside out. [which i will write a blog review about so i can keep a list of books]
Richard:
- does not agree much with the architecture inside out book- the main issue of architects who do not pay enough attention to the functional and internal needs of the occupants.
- feel that there are two types of architecture, one that is built by demand and the other by mass production.
- agrees with the issues of the body and seeing the body as both an object and a subject, that we are not bound by our skin.
for the design:
-he's fine with me having no clue as to where i want to build it, or what i want to build.
-he suggested a museum of beauty, that beauty is the object in the museum to be shown- then there are rooms of certain beauty?
-I suggested a selection of beautiful designs, because of the bigness of this subject, i said perhaps i could build a whole lot of things along the way, rather than one design.
-Perhaps i could design numerous random spaces and do three prototypes of each space, one that is viewed to be beautiful based on culture for example, then one based on purpely psychological then a joint one.
key ideas that emerged:

Humanist branch of modernism
Architect's experience is different than that of a man down the street
