  1. So, digital media is the GREATEST REVOLUTION in architecture since the invention of concrete and steel? That is laughable. A building's narrative comes from your experience of using it, often repetitively; not spoon-fed by some digital renderings, often accompanied by beautiful people in swimsuit. The only way to speed up the feed-back system of architecture is to speed up design and construction. And it's always a gamble. Digital rendering helps. But given the budget constraints (big buildings are very costly), once construction starts it's hard to change the design if people don't like the rendering. Also, the fact that people now take photos of buildings with their cell phone does not mean buildings should be "disembodied" from the site (9:58). That is just wrong. Too bad he cannot look beyond the building itself and pay attention to other factors(budget, environment, neighborhood, social and cultural context, etc.) I bet his next big talk will be how VIRTUAL REALITY is the greatest revolution in architecture.
