Design Intelligence

'Theory was interesting. . . but now we have work' arq 6/2, 'perspective,' June 26, 2002. A forward looking approach towards architectural practices nowadays. Architecture should be more concerned with a certain degree of opportunism and risk taking rather then problem solving. Design Intelligence takes a great deal of concepts of millitary strategies and Micheal Speaks even states methods of the CIA to obtain information. For instance 'blogs' form on the one hand opinions but also represent on the other hand tendencies and trends within the population. The idea of strategy means to take, informed, coordinated actions to ensure success. In Architecture practice that is to develop a flexible, adaptive and open system which therefore stays up to date and shows a high level of robustness.
