VIRTUAL  OFFIS

    On this page I will state my thoughts concerning an idea, which is visiting me most often in the last time. Somewhere at my heart, I hope that you are also thinking about it in one or another interpretation. Therefore I suppose we will have something to share with each other. And I do not have any doubts that this communication will be very fruitful. 

    As we are specialists in one sphere and use one instrument for implementation of our ideas. In addition, I fully understand that all of us struck in our daily work, i.e. homes, shops and offices. It provides us with means of subsistence, but very seldom satisfy our interests in an architecture, where we can be customers and creators to ourselves. I also suppose that at this page I will have a conversation with myself only during a long time. 

    This is Ok, as few people have enough time, desire and ability to state clear own thoughts and defend the ideas. But a dialog will certainly take place early or late, as the monologues cannot be unlimited. It would be very interesting to investigate all this archive of thoughts, gained experience and try to discover that main guide, by which the development of architecture is moving. So it is understood to everyone that architecture will be met by radical changes. Unrestrained population upsurge is a major factor of these changes. 

    In 2012 year we will be able to amount to 10 billion. And nobody can clearly answer how to build during next 10 years as many as it was built for last centuries. By the way, the architects are the last, whom this question is answered. Maybe it seems to me, but there is an interesting rule, that first quarter of each century is reach in ideas of a gigantism, the second in materialization of some of them, the third one is characterized by planned use of the resource, the forth - by understanding and analysis, which is usually based on principle of child's inquisitiveness, i.e. in order to know something, it is necessary to take to pieces and break down. At the each stage of development, it is taking place in different ways. And presently we are in that initial space of this loop that will bring the architecture to the level, which is adequate to development of civilization in a new century. In particular, at the present time it will be put the ideas and tendencies to the architecture and that will be realized in 30-50 years.

     Ageing and lack of fit of architectural objects at the new century will be more critical than now. For the last 10 years, progress made such a spurt that forecasting for next fifty years is very complicated. But unfortunately, architecture and town-planning is not a production of TV sets and motor vehicles. Here volumes of planned works covered decades. Therefore mistakes in the new century may be fatal. The biggest cities of the world are already achieved a critical mass now. In ten years, problems of big cities will go on to the category of "rescue of agglomerations".

    Global projects, which will be inevitably created for the sake of a global tasks' solution and will be so volumetric and differently planned that it will be impossible to gather all necessary specialists in one territorial point. That will be the time when virtual communities of architects and designers that are able to execute huge volumes on reconstruction and modernization of cities will prove themselves at full capacity. Financial institutions, which are always ahead of a whole planet, already understood that it is not possible to collect all money in one can. And presently, only financial institutions amazed by its omnipresent system of crediting and investing. We, the architects will also come to it very soon, or will be lead to it by others due to our amorphism and conservatism. But in that time, we will not be able sit where we want and where it should be to us, but will be staying where it will be pointed to us…  >>>>
