Work by B.Arch student Ivana Carbajal
It is the business of the future to be dangerous*And it should be. Design, by nature, is an inconclusive practice that draws more inquiry than it resolves. As a matter of course, it requires us to come face-to-face with the limits of knowledge to stare into the abyss, and keep working. Design is also an anticipatory act, attempting to represent and assume a future feat before it comes to pass. And so, a relevant act of design must tempt the danger of not knowing, and dance with the formidable future.
The members if this graduating class are poised with a broad, heterogeneous mix of claims, and in them we see the daring and verve of tightrope walkers and fire-eaters. Their education has provided each of them with a deep orientation to the opacities of the future. We should be compelled by the knowledge that our students are uniquely suited to the task of wandering into the unknown with a rapt sense of purpose and a fine disregard for anything too certain. The future depends upon it.*Alfred North Whitehead, Science and the Modern World, 1925
