CAMERA

These are ever challenging times.  Architecture abroad seem to be so monstrous that one designer tend to mix or confuse its function to produce the form.  For as long as the building is erected with all the needed details abiding from the drafted plans, then its all good. There is no denying that some projects are subject to scrutiny and criticism especially from the professional world.  Some even are up to the task of making formal complaints to every building that that does not conform with the rules and standards setup by the authorities of the profession.  They would incessantly criticize every work that isn't done by some designer that they haven't heard of.  If some anonymous designer sprung out from nowhere and is found out, immediate actions should be taken so it wont happen again.  So what is your stand?

What is your camera?  That would be a nice question.  Or what type of camera do you use?  How is it connected with the things discussed earlier?  Well think of a camera as a draftsman.  One shot and the perspective is done.  I meant it us a form of producing a presentation of an architectural work done by the click of the button.  Just by printing it from the shot or capture, or just merely by looking closely at a building capture, one learned designer or draftsman could form his own version of that structure.  He or she could just edit the forms especially the materials used and the color and the size in his mind.

Once a draftsman got hold of these materials, he could adapt from it and build anew.  In the architecture profession, I believe this is called legally as drawing references or building photo references.  Anyone from here could actually build up some idea on how his house, or building will be built.  So it is not surprising that some clients tend to bring with them some pictures of building and houses.  Telling the designer on how his building should look like or at least giving the designer a headstart on how the building should look like usually just on the exterior.  But then it is up to the designer's volition to research about the project.  And so on and so forth.  The draftsman in short is the breathing camera.
