Quantum Issues in Architecture

Architecture Is In and Of Its Time

Architecture is in and of its era. It is built:
into the space and time of its era
of the materials and methods of construction of its era
out of the structures of consciousness of the people of its era
in the socio-culture context of its era
Each period in architectural history is characterized by these four imperatives, but in this essay we will focus on space and time.
“Every architect is — necessarily — a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.”
Frank Lloyd Wright, London Lectures, 1938
“Architecture depends on its time. It is the crystallization of its inner spirit, the slow unfolding of its form.”
Mies van der Rohe, Speech at IIT, 1950
“…quantum theory is our basic theory of the physical world. All construction is quantum construction.”
David Deutsch, Edge interview, 2000
