more and more, technology has gained field and started to control everyday activities. from storing and organizing our correspondence to providing us with directions, we have become dependent of this technology relying on it more than how much we rely on one another; as if we could replace human interaction with a cellphone. however, at least for me personally, the input and constant stream of information can become overwhelming at times, being able to be reached (and require an immediate response) becomes more of a chore than a commodity.

I believe that there is in fact a disconnect (in the architectural world) between the architect and the architecture. technology has allowed us to obtain and go (virtually) to any point in the planet within seconds; however, the rest of the information that is not visual has not been able to be processed and translated rendering the decision making process deficient. there is also a disconnect with reality at the time of designing when a CAD user can (And feels the impulse to) create documents for a parametric solar responding wall/canopy when the budget will only allow a dryvit wall.
