Bruce Mau on Interdisciplinary Conceptualization
From an interview in the Architectural Record:
The way it works now is that an engineer often does structure, an architect does skin, a space planner does interiors, and an industrial designer does product. It’s a nasty mess. The quality of life that it produces is also a nasty mess, and we all suffer. The problems are where those things rub up against one another.
It’s informative, I think, to consider the extent to which this is true across design and engineering practices, fully-apart from architecture or product development. Good stuff.
