Joshua Prince Ramus

Everyone that has work in theater know the face of the building administrator when you tell him that you need to put some screw in his floor or do anything that may be perceibe not quite as a damage, but a modification.
Well there is an Architect that includes that face in the design process of a new theather house in Dallas. This guy, against the idea of architecture based on self expression, take the function of the building and put it in the center of the process, together with the notion of ''architectural manifestations'' should follow the position taked by owner, the user and the designer of the building at the beggining of the design process. That is a quite interesting approach (in times were the magic pen of ''starchitects'' fly full of petrodollars) that leads to a very funtional, responsive and striking architecture.
