The two words written in the title mean
things that are far from each other. The former talks about exclusivity
bordering on snobbery and the latter talks about diversity and heterogeneity.
But the funny thing about architecture is that it can be expressed through
either of the extremes- sometimes even both.
As designers, it isn’t uncommon for people
to become a little haughty and believe that their aesthetic is the best and it
is equally common to experiment so much that the building looks like a mash up
of too many things that you, as an individual, wouldn’t probably put together.
But that is the beauty of a creative field, isn’t it? Each person seems to have
a different perception of what works and what doesn’t; this idea can vary by a
few degrees or by miles and this also makes it the most frustrating part of
this creative field: There is no pleasing everyone. And sometimes, there is no
pleasing anyone (including yourself).
This is one thing I’ve realised we all
struggle with. The discussions in office regarding everything starting from the
placement on one tiny half wall to the grey lines on a white marble can get
incredibly interesting and sometimes, even exhausting. But that is what makes
brainstorming among a group of ‘creative’ people so interesting, especially if
you’re someone like me who is inclined towards conversations, especially ones
that have some heat to it.
This, for me, is one of the reasons the 3
weeks in office seem to have gone so fast.
Hope to see you tomorrow,
Namitha.
