Kieran suggests that we take cues from the automobile, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries for improving design and construction methods in architecture. These industries are becoming increasingly economic, and continue to manufacture products of higher quality. Meanwhile, quality has declined in architecture, due to the lack of new materials and processes being developed. By implementing new materials and methodologies in the design process, we might be able to create more efficient and sustainable structures. Our buildings will then be defined by substance and functionality rather than appearance alone.
As technologies advance the building process will become quicker and less expensive. It will also allow us to build in a way that was not possible before. We will be able to regulate how large we want members of the building to be. This will allow architects to be more free in their designs and will let them focus more on the quality of a space than how much it will cost to build it.
