Issue #2 Copy and interpretation
The second issue of CONDITIONS is devoted to the topic of “Copy and Interpretation”. We wanted to explore the border between the copy and the interpretation in contemporary architecture, by comparing the attitudes in architecture to other disciplines. On the one hand, a particular deep-rooted aversion and taboo exists towards the concept of copying among today’s architects; at the same time the speed of modern media and design makes the copy or interpretation an ever more tempting alternative to the time consuming original design. Why do architects get offended when someone indicates that they are making a copy? Why is it not accepted to copy?
