Avoiding Architecture, a Manifesto

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

The article is a stream of thought and realizations concerning the métiers of (internationally practiced) interior and landscape design today. It addresses two of the subjects that became Inside Outside/ Petra Blaisse’s specialisms through the past thirty years: curtains and gardens. Each section starts with a personal definition, followed by an added flow of thought or an argument. The piece does not draw conclusions or express opinions; it merely triggers awareness of topics that seem important at this moment in time.


Radical: Supporting change.
Design: To make or draw plans for something.
Strategy: A detailed plan for achieving success in situations such as war, politics, business, industry, or sport, or the skill of planning for such situations.
