"A Grotesque Portrait of the Institute."
Woo-Min Lee 1498365
It may seem as if computers are these days almost religiously worshipped; especially with many innovative software such as Rhino and 3Ds Max and along with it an extensive tool package capable of enhancing architectural projects like never before. However, such advancements in technology imposed by institutions, such as the School of Architecture and Planning and more broadly NICAI, brings about mixed feelings of new 'excitement' and 'fear.' Reflecting both these emotions, the poster tries to elaborate on the 'fear' of both resisting the change towards technological advancement in the concern of architects potentially being replaced either in its entirety or in mentality in terms of a mechanised design process (and how the architect may one day think more like a robot) due to the institution's promotion of technology. That is, it is the fear that computers are becoming a threat to creativity due to the fact that using a fantastically computer-rendered presentation of architectural ideas may deceive clients or others of projects of little architectural merit and thus misleading them.
