Recommendations (8)
Revitalize the ‘global project’ approach in architecture by integrating arts, engineering, and design from the conceptual stage so the built work is conceived as a coherent whole.
- Scope:
- Meso → Macro
- Time Horizon:
- Medium → Long
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Involve artists from the beginning of the design process and pre-conceive artworks as architectural components rather than adding them late as decoration.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Short → Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium-High
Treat interior architecture, furniture, landscape, and technical systems as intrinsic architectural specialties, developed in continuous dialogue with the main architectural concept.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium-High
Build well-coordinated multidisciplinary teams, led by a project architect but structured to incorporate engineering knowledge as an indispensable part of modern architectural design.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Short → Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- High
Protect dedicated budgets and commissioning mechanisms for artworks in public buildings, since financial constraints repeatedly block meaningful artistic integration.
- Scope:
- Macro
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Adopt typology-sensitive architectural languages instead of imposing one formal vocabulary across all projects; let function, context, and program shape different yet coherent design responses.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- High
Update the discourse of ‘integration of the arts’ toward a model of dynamic balance that preserves artist autonomy and rejects the architect’s authoritarian control over artistic contribution.
- Scope:
- Meso → Macro
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Continue systematic inventorying, cataloguing, and archival preservation of long-running ateliers and public-building documentation to support research, conservation, and future design learning.
