Newsletter of the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University
As part of a “visionary group of architects and educators” interviewed in the May/June 2009 edition of Natural Home magazine, Texas A&M architecture professor Pliny Fisk offered predictions about what will happen to housing over the next decade.”
“The insights they share,” reads the introduction the magazine’s Q&A interview, “are surprisingly full of optimism, creativity and hope.”
“Because we're faced with such a large housing crisis all over the world, we really have to develop a low-cost, high-performance method of meeting demand,” Fisk said in the interview. “Hopefully, in a truly eco-industrial environment, we will build homes that are understood as much by the users as the designers/engineers. We can no longer afford to one off, popcorn-style a bunch of cool ideas that go nowhere.”
