Can actual architecture be cutting edge? I mean by the time a building is finished with construction its already a year or two old and could even be dated by 5 to 10 years depending on the project. Architecture is an inherently slow process grounding it in the past more than the present or future.
Look at what is on the drawing boards of some innovative offices to see whats cutting edge.
Is "cutting edge" really desirable from a design or practice point of view? To me, to be positioned as "cutting edge" sort of sounds "trendy"...
IMHO a good place to be is more enduring and progressive... Of course innovation is important, but I think there is a tendency sometimes to over-hype newness in design... I'm not sure "cutting edge" should be the benchmark for good work... Contemporary art maybe, but architecture or architecture ideas need to last... Good architecture has to still be good architecture after 10 or 20 years...
Again it has not been the real cutting edge architecture we seen, we see images of it. We seen paintings of it how the surface of it ,the skin, tapestry the issue. Underneath it has been the old stuf and eerything been restricted to what you can make with what allready are here methods that allready are here. By core only very little cutting architecture has been realised to be tested. And as architects been acting like painters, only delivered an image of it, something that shuld only picture it, becaurse of that, the real cutting edge been forgotten, it's to difficult, it ask creativity and an ability to think in new terms, in compleatly new directions, and that is difficult.

Cutting edge
What would you consider cutting edge architecture and design?
what does "cutting edge" mean?
alternate subtitle: The Ultimate Love/Skate Relationship
There's cutting edge architectural technology; I don't think there is any cutting edge architecture.
Thank you !
That's hard to say, but I know it when I see it.
cutting edge is so 2008
Cutting Edge sounds more 1996 to me. Pre - Internet Ubiquity.
when it comes to cutting edge, architect is the last person u should ask... especially here is a bleeding ground for "good old days" arch opinions...
go to grap a sci-fi comics, japs anime or scientific america, u will find inspirations.
grabbing a comic book?
umm, that actually is 'the good old days'
doomed to repeat, tragedy and farce, etc etc.
