Architecture has always struggled with its schizophrenic nature: on the one hand an exchange between the need for engineered efficiency & the desire for artistic freedom, and on the other hand the temptation to enrich these often incompatible qualities with theoretical elaborations. In other words, architects have, naively perhaps, assigned themselves the task of bridging schisms by utilising the past to visualise imminent (albeit uncertain) futures, while engaging in discourse that relates to the immediate present.
