We have seen that often a vision of focal point holds a society together. If open architecture vision is sharing, are the people demanding it? It doesn’t seems so : most people want protection, security much more than freedom and mobil- ity. Some young Japanese are even more extreme and never get out of their rooms (Hikikomori, 引き籠もり), instead they bring the entire universe inside their rooms. In a way Hikikomori is open architecture inside out. In order to challenge actual politics of construction, anarchitects work with the population, and instead of making a 1/20 foamcore architectural model, anarchitects build at scale one and modify the architecture form population feedback. Going toward open architecture is a challenge, we need rewards at every step of progress. At some point people might start to like to decide for themselves? Once people have power to create a produce, will they finally let them-selves explore their own deeper fears and desires? |
