Building Culture by Julian Rose

Insights from Building Culture

Starchitects are obsessed with making buildings look like sculptures. They forget people actually have to walk through them.

“Light is not just a detail; it is the structure itself.”

Renzo Piano is way more pragmatic than people give him credit for. He treats light like a physical building material.

Art galleries used to be quiet temples. Now they are basically high-end malls for the ultra wealthy.

Frank Gehry totally changed the game with Bilbao. Every city thinks a weird building will fix their economy now.
