How to become an architecture?

How important do you think green architecture will become?

• Frank Lloyd Wright has been lauded for his fusion of form and function. His structures are known for blending into the surrounding landscape. Even inside the New York Guggenheim Museum, despite being surrounded with traffic and the busyness of downtown Manhattan, has the feel of being among the pine trees, breathing fresh air, and sunlight. With so much focus on environmental concerns, green architecture is a popular trend. In fact, much of New Orleans, Ninth Ward has been rebuilt with the use of sustainable materials and energy-saving design. As we continue in the twenty-first century, how important do you think green architecture will become? Do you think it will cause us to sacrifice form for function? As you prepare your answer, consider the aesthetic appeal and practical functions of the buildings surrounding you.

• Answer:

  The green revolution is just a marketing scam. That being the case, the number of ordinary things that are advertised as green will increase. Architecture is the same as everything else. The greenness of architecture is illusory. It is as oxymoronic as eco tourism. People will make a lot of money riding the false claims. Buildings are black. Think about it. i've been in a lot of Wright buildings. All of them had roof leaks. A failure of function.
