Architecture of Everyday

Deborah Berke is concerned with the direction of the architect as a celebrity so she lays out some guidelines for the architect she holds dear, the architect of the every day.

(1) An architecture of the everyday may be Banal or Common
(2) An architecture of the everyday may therefore be quite ordinary
(3) An architecture of the everyday may be crude.
(4) An architecture of the everyday may be sensual.
(5) An architecture of the everyday may also be vulgar and visceral. (Vulgar rejects what is approved of as good taste)
(6) An architecture of the everyday acknowledges domestic life.
(7) An architecture of the everyday may take on collective and symbolic meaning but it is not necessarily monumental.
(8) An architecture of the everyday responds to program and is function.
(9) An architecture of the everyday may change as quickly as fashion, but it is not always fashionable.
(10) The architecture of the everyday is built.
