The Architects Series Ep. 22 - A documentary on: Mecanoo

Established in Delft, Netherlands, in 1984, the Mecanoo architecture studio is a multidisciplinary team of creative professionals from 25 countries, including architects, interior designers, urban planners, landscape architects, technicians, and support staff.
The firm has extensive experience in designing and constructing high-performance buildings that both satisfy client expectations and create lively, innovative urban spaces. Every project reflects the three cornerstones of Mecanoo’s philosophy: People, Place, Purpose.

Frank Lloyd Wright once was quoted as saying “Something about myself that amazes me, is that I never stop learning”. (About 89 yrs old) Those in the room thought that he was about to brag about himself instead of his enlightened statement.

Not so. Not even close. It is far from insignificant. Here’s a riposte for your serious contemplation: It is a WORK of unimaginable wonder - of eternal awe at the ‘impossible’ magnificence far beyond the hopeless horror that mere mortal men inflict upon the majesty of nature and His own Kingdom (evidenced so powerfully too in the best of Man ab initio). The total victory of His Eternal realm is already won…. There is nothing any created being - no matter how driven by satan - can do to reverse the Triumph of God (and thereby our) true beauty over ugliness. It is the work of the Time Traveler - the Creator of Time… and the victory of the great Father through Christ at the End Time is TOTAL. … Hope you that you that still remain non- awake to this irreversible fact may receive the Light of Truth, and learn to rejoice in His Majesty which is all around you even in this fallen material state by His complete Control of what architecture will remain (into the final realm of timelessness) long after mankind has been divided into those that will inherit the “new” Earth - Eden - and those that will be taken out of the perfect picture that is already existing in another dimension beyond contemporary man’s feeble grip on “science”. God Bless. 2.4 Billion of souls worldwide already know this… The rest of you all shall do so too - precisely as written in the eternal text - in the day of your death, if not sooner. Cling to the faith in atheism and the god of science all you can - and by so doing go to your inevitable “pointless” deaths - just as you dream of, determined as you are to prove yourselves correct - into the misery of darkness, and the eternal extinction of all life and reason. Wake up and THINK! Architects perhaps more than any other people, surely, have NO excuse to believe in anything but the immaculate design of individual free-will - upon which all previous Europeans civilizational might was built - ALL of it - and the big crit of your life at the final examination of your soul and life’s industry awaits by the One judge whose name is real freedom - and always was right next to you throughout this first test of “mortal” existence.

Ammiro molto i Mecanoo ma sono dell’idea che ci sia una frattura tra il ns modo di intendere l’architettura e quella degli studi olandesi. Seppur questi vadano da sempre a velocità sostenuta e noi no, la concezione nordica, paradossalmente, privilegia il gioco delle forme favorendo un approccio ludico della geometria creando incastri, salti di scala, grosse trasparenze e favorendo appunto materiali come il legno a cercare calore e luce. L’architettura mediterranea al contrario predilige le ombre, si protegge dal sole, l’acqua! Che purtroppo compare sempre meno nei progetti. Il nostro animo é passionale e drammatico più vicino alle culture mediorientali e arabe per design ma sopratutto per carattere. É un peccato perché é come misurarsi e mitizzare qualcuno che é totalmente diverso generando una continua frustrazione e di fatto abbandonando le radici della nostra cultura. Perché ogni luogo é diverso come in ogni luogo si parla una lingua diversa.
