Engineered Transparency: Glass in Architecture and Structural Engineering (2008) Poster

Elizabeth Diller: Self

Quotes 

  • Elizabeth Diller : Glass cannot be thought of outside all building systems and outside of lifestyle issues, and issues of desire and pleasure, consumption and production.

  • Elizabeth Diller : We have the benefit of time and we also can look back and see that there are many of the same objectives, that are unfulfilled but are now looked at without the naivety of the early moderns and we went through a period of the ubiquity of glass at which time there was a kind of paranoia that was created by glass and then something else happened, this kind of post-paranoid condition, where, we like to think of it as the fear of being watched has become the fear of nobody watching. So its not as much about looking out, feeling the mastery of outside, its much more about revealing ourselves to the outside in a very willful way.
