in Log 28, Brett Steele is saying that is you are not doing experimental architecture,then you are doing professional architecture, if you are doting professional architecture, your architecture will become a part of service industry.

In a sense, almost all architecture is experimental because the context of every site is unique.  And by context, I mean all versions; geographical, political, technological, temporal, ecological, esoterical, spherical, financial, comical, et cetrer

When these cheesepopes talk about "experimental architecture" too often they promote the exxperimental at the expense of the architecture.  And one has to wonder if that is evn architecture at all.

Yeah, we shouldn't provide a service to our clients. That would be stupid.

Let me guess, he's a professor and doesn't really practice living in a prophetical world educational ideology.

We may differentiate an experimental architectural process from an experimental architecture. If the architectural outcome is not intended to be the experiment proper (gauging the pursuant conditions) but is an outcome of an experimental process, then it cannot be called an experimental architecture per se.

Contrarily, for instance,  social housing prototypes proposing or developing new social-spatial relations..these could well be intended as space-time experiments. The design process might, on the other hand, be highly orthodox.

If rem koolhaas were to maintain the experimentality of his interior spaces behind neo-'traditional' exteriors, would his architecture not be still experimental? Keeping in mind that the idea that an exterior is a sufficient-to-expressive expression of the interior is not really the experimental bit.
