In a recent reading of the University of Sydney Architecture Annual 2014: Propositions, the following article resonated a constant challenge faced by students and practitioners: resisting the siren of attention-seeking architecture.
"The setting forth of something as a subject of discourse; something proposed for discussion, or as a basis of argument.
A question proposed for solution; a problem, a riddle.
The action of setting forth or presenting to view or perception."
The University of Sydney Architecture Annual 2014: Propositions was first published in 2014 by Freerange Press in conjunction with the Graduate Architecture Exhibition 4th-12th December, 2014.
