Question

What are the common Obstacles of architecture design methods?

Answer 1

1. The Social Sharing Effect

With the constant media feed that now occupies our multiple screens, it’s pretty much impossible not to see the same things your coworkers or classmates see; and equally impossible not to subconsciously incorporate someone else’s idea into your own. The problem is that if everyone does this, it becomes hard to avoid similarities between projects and presentations.

2. New Technological Challenges

New technology that is evolving at an exceptional rate can be intimidating – many of the things you learn will soon be outdated. Yet it's important for some to take the challenge to step out of his or her comfort zone and into this sometimes-ungraspable field of new architectural technology.

3. Geographical Limitations

Staying within one’s home country throughout one’s education and maybe even professional life, can be a very comfortable, safe option to take. The effect that this has on your originality, though, is less than comforting; fortunately, exchange between cultures is becoming a more common design approach around the world, allowing us to learn from one another.

4. Material Limitations

Despite the specific contextual parameters that come with encoding and programming building design, architecture created in this way has somehow managed to all blend into a single idea of what parametric buildings can be.

6. Industry Specialization

Specialization in modern society is another factor playing against originality.Alternatively you could extend your social circle to include people who are already knowledgeable in these fields; people who feel the same way about construction and design as you do, such that idea generation and communication is as unrestricted as possible. Finding a good team can lead you a long way.
