Extra-1 inborn and acquired - intention

One of my friend makes a major weekend paper. It features “person of the day” on the top page every issues. It featured talked-about architect, Kengo Kuma and then Kurosaki, who is top director of interior company, IDEE on the next issue. At that time , Kengo Kuma is famous for an architect of the new fashionable building at Omote-sando and Kurosaki was for renovation project.

He said that Kurosaki was on the cutting edge rather than Kuma, though both of them were so hot then. He also said that a lot of students raced to gather around Kurosaki to help his conversion project. It seems that many students prefer renovating or customizing something old rather than creating something new.

Though people like Kurosaki is the person of the day, it is undeniable fact that we are architects and our profession is to create something new. Though I think that it is a little out of date to premise such a function, there is a certain amount of truth in demand for people to create something new. At the same time, we can't help but wondering what we would like to create.

It is said that people receive design drawings, called DNA, from their parents. However it isn’t clear how these drawings define the direction of each character and personality. Considering that people is growing up well-adjusted to the society, these drawings should be modified as appropriate according to circumstances.

On the contrary, how about architecture?

Alike people, I think that architecture should adjust appropriately according to the needs of the age especially in nowadays, when many trends change so quickly.On the level of people, such modifications are interpreted positively as a proof of growing. I wonder if architecture could be also increase in thickness like growing up by these modifications and we could make such drawings on the premise of such modifications?
