Neurotic Architecture

Neurotic
Architecture

By chameera Udawatthe
The idea of neurotic architecture is the process of designer doesn’t response to the four major manufactures of they designs aspects to create the designs. Actually the expression be supposed to be the architecture doesn’t response to any other qualities of the context or the client or the user in any stage of the design process. So the design became no utilize at the end of the design progression elementary unable to serve architecture to anybody. Except the idea of the neurosis on the designer would be conversed forever in the history, not because they made good thing or design good designs for the society but they destroyed the built environment. The idea is “we make money not designs” whatever they do they think that this is the ideal design and best thing that they can make for the goodness of the society. As the Lawrence kubie challenge the neurotics can not create creative things they can create whatever they want. But in fact the neurotic architecture is none useful and the survival of the building are due to the lack of designs sense in the society. The neurotic is not radical architecture. Radical architecture is changing forma and shapes in to the goodness of the deign aspects, but the neurotic architecture doesn’t understand the requirements of the design aspects. Radical is something deeply routed in the ground, the radical; represent the post notion of the history, therefore the radical architecture is not neurotic architecture, don’t mess with radical architecture and neurotic architecture when you are classifying architecture. And also creating whatever you want to make is not the creative process of deigning. The client will never say that this is the site and this is money do whatever you want to do and create architecture. Architecture is lot more complex process and a lots of dirty works to be done there. Compromising is the start point of the architecture and it ahs a lots of dirty works until the design process end the. In fact there are plenty of neurotic architects in the country and none of them can be clearly define as the neurotic architecture. Most of buildings are responding to something other than just buildings... However the neurotic architecture can make nothing and give nothing to the society. And also the neurotic architecture has no creativity there are just building. Neurotic architecture refers to those who cannot create but they are overwhelming that they can change the whole world for the goodness of their own.
In Sri Lankan context most of the architect are responding to the context” the building d3ebit the character of the location. Therefore it is difficult to identify the pure neurotic architecture in the island. But there is such strength architecture in country. Because the eastern idea of the contextual adaptation an important fact in the philosophy of the architects in the country. The influences from the old regions of Sri Lankan history had killed the existing neurotic architects and destroy the Everest climbing ideas before they exit with solid base. And also Sri Lanka context has no idea of what is radical architecture is? So there is no pure neurotic architecture in this small island but there some pig big headed architecture which are not responding to the design aspect which should be addressed.

  1. 'Neurotic Architecture' is a phrase manufactured by an architect, teacher some years ago... Yet, I doubt whether anyone agrees with all these various forms of classification. It would be rather neurotic to have a classification for the sake of having one. And then, it would be alright, to make such phrases, so that you can claim someday that it was 'done by me'...
