The role of infrastructure is intrinsic to the role of an architect. We are called to seek out layers within the aspects of desired functions. The designation of these liars and their boundaries form a dynamic that in postmodernism holds are the foundations within design.
This has morph in foundational design supports structure as the acceptable outline of a building and emphasizes it as just one layer of the architecture. The form fits the function in this sense and can be compared to propositions of infrastructure outlined by Rem Koolhaas, 1991.
-The site of a subject should be created in conjunction with the subjects inception where the object is not defined by its site but it site is linked to its identity.
-The aim is to solve a problem specifically saying that retainment of a an non determinatal status while achieving precise improvements is essential to an infrastructure. This is pursued with management in its cultivation and slow shifts over time in relation to the infrastructures conditions
-Infrastructure is not self referential but allows avenues for, designers, architects and civil engineers in conjunction with their communities to make a tactical improvisations.
-Allows design contingency of the site and subject for immediate conditions while maintaining continuity throughout the entire system.
-Although infrastructure is actualized in massive static Structures found in highways and bridges these moments with in the design are meant to be interpreted as a part of the of the life existing within the whole. It draws attention to detail regarding open spaces and the future development of an identified systems as well as the ever changing needs of the organism. structures found in highways and bridges these moments within the design that are meant to be interpreted as a part of the living of the life that engulf it.
-Infrastructure is engaged while changing environmental conditions of its territory and mitigating density in relation to its tree like formation.
-Typical elements and repetitive circumstances approached infrastructurally allow detailed designs to develop revolving around the function of the object as opposed to it as static. Approaching something infrastructurally allows detail designs to develop revolving around the function of the objects as opposed to its appearance.
Relating ones Architecture to infrastructure is important to the meaning sought by modern conventions. The medium of infrastructure is geography and represents communication that avoids the barrier of particular design language. If the aforementioned 17 propositions of every structure were applied to architectural projects then architecture would be self re-inserted into the conversation of urban areas that architects need to be included in.
