Presentation - When is Enough, Enough? The Performance of Measurement

Buildings and the built environment are designed and constructed according to measurable, quantifiable and gradable standards, yet a community’s interaction with their environment is not measured, or indeed measurable in this way. From Le Corbusier's 'Ineffable space' to Louis Kahn's 'Unmeasurable' criteria for great buildings, we continue this architectural pursuit to connect the intangible with the most urgent tangibles of contemporary everyday lives. We look to ask if architecture and design can move the needle on the public’s sense of agency, attachment, attraction, connection, freedom and inclusion.
