Mashup Architecture Article
Design
plays a crucial role in everything we consume. Even kids growing up understand that design should incite an experience of euphoria. Design is no longer a
closed shop, think how fast and
wild the
metropolises of today could be. If we design with a lion and gazelle mentality, to create valuable architecture which tickles one’s
impression of their city, we can ensure we won't have a sad funeral
parade of black-clad mourners discouraged by eyesores.
Whether you are the lion or the gazelle in the design process the ultimate endgame is survival and to outlast the other. This practice is a running competition, and it is this competitive spirit which will squeeze creative ideas into existence. Design like
you’re being devoured.
Theory
Design architecture with a lion and gazelle mentality: an imagination stimulated by competitiveness. This will encourage pushing and experimenting with new ideas to ultimately incite a sense of excitement, well-being and elation.
