Design Should
Be For People,
Architects Told
Design buildings for people and
not for the sake of design, archi
tects were advised here at a con
ference on creative architectural
research.
More than 60 professional archi
tects are attending the meeting
sponsored by the Division of Arch
itecture, the Texas Society of
Architects and the Building Re
search Institute. The conference
will close Friday afternoon.
Carl Koch, Cambridge, Mass.,
architect, foresees a great change
and challenge for architects in pre
assembled building components.
“Prefabricated materials need
not limit architectural expression,”
he said. “It has been demonstrated
that such components can pi’ovide
a basic structure. An architect
may work within the shell to
create a highly individualized unit
of any material desired — if he
just will.”
He said a new era in building
is emerging that will give better
housing to more people.
“Fine architecture can be the
possession not just of the upper
income group but of all,” Koch
asserted.
More emphasis on how people
and buildings go together was
asked for by Jonathan King of
Educational Facilities Laborator
ies, Inc., a research organization.
“We need research that examines
people and their needs in many
types of buildings. In school de
sign, for instance, we may know
something about factors affecting
comfort, but not about factors af
fecting learning,” King said.
Young architects too often are
concerned with style or design
and structure rather than people
and architecture that meets their
needs, he commented.
William Wagner of the archi
tecture faculty told of the need
for more research about enviorn-
ment and comfort in physical edu
cation facilities.
