I was passed this photo and have been thinking about it now and again. I chose to post this today in response to conversations I have had recently about where my collaborative is headed and what work will be doing in the next year. Here are some reflections...
'A new generation of workers is entering the workforce at an extremely horrible time in...' alright, we all know the situation... However, there is also a huge change in work ethic of our field. We are increasingly part of a work force that relies on technology to give us access to information, information organization, and visualization techniques. The ability with which we access the information is different from previous generations of architects. Before, catalogs and 'standards' were used as reference materials in firms to guide drafters working at desk stations. Now, we have access to manufacturer models and BIM objects that we do not have to concern ourselves with eighths of inches...
It is time to clear the caches of architectural libraries? I propose we delete the mundane caches of knowledge and move toward using that space to think of new things we can apply our interests towards!
BTW, if you have not seen the movie 'objectified', what are you waiting for?
