TEDxDelft 2013 | Do watch this at home! Alastair Parvin: Architecture for the people by the people

,

The core business of architects is designing big buildings, right? Alastair Parvin (TED, Feb 2013) argues that in the current economy, this is no longer the case. Instead of building a new school, why not look for other solutions for the infrastructure problem? Instead of professionals designing enormous offices, why not ask the people actually using the building to help design it? Design your own home and build it Ikea-style with technology already available now.
