The Lewis Center: A Structure That Evolves

 

The Lewis Center Measures Itself

"Typically, buildings are a kind of snapshot of the state of technology at a given time. In this case, however, we intended for the building to remain technologically dynamic over a long period of time. In effect we proposed that the building adapt or learn as the state of technology changed and as our understanding of design became more sophisticated."

-- from "Architecture As Pedagogy II" by David Orr, published in the June 1997 issue of Conservation Biology.
