materials, construction technology and equipment technology, but above all,
what lies ahead is the need to integrate the separate sectors with each other.

building is an area of technology where integration comes under the spotlight. It
calls for traditional methods and control of sophisticated technology and the
ability to combine the two together in a flexible manner. The buildings of our
time have often been examples of incompatible partial solutions. Spatial

Recently
we have been able to learn from the excellent Animal Architecture exhibition

cannot compare in tensile strength with the spider’s web. Nor can any
ventilation adjustment that we control compare the complicated but clear
