Architectural production is an inherently hysterical pursuit. Often confused with the aesthetics of space, architecture is, in fact, an ethical endeavor. Architects-we must first and foremost recognize-do not make buildings. While bound-up with the work of others who lay brick upon brick, architect’s make drawings, models and other media that communicate a way of configuring space. The work of the architect is, in fact, to meditate ON the work of others. To try and understand it and to integrate that work within the apparatus of contemporary society. The object of the architect’s desire, as such, usually is kept at a solid distance from the architect themselves. Is it any wonder that architects are commonly known to have inflated egos? But still, architectural practice involves a hope for what the future may be like-spatially, socially, aesthetically. And, all of these hopes find their place within architecture’s ethical dimension. The work of architecture, then is to speculate on the possibilities for future configurations of built form. These speculations in drawing, model, written word, and other forms are an offer, a proposal-not unlike a marriage proposal. It requires a second hand to accept that proposal with the same hope for the possibilities within the future. Unlike the proposition, which has a pre-supposed outcome, the proposal of architectural practice must be given humbly and with wonder and love.
