I am more talking about, say, the 1970s work of SITE (James Wines, Alison Sky, etc.) where the building is sort of a process. Remember, the Best store where the brick wall was "peeling off" etc. To design a building with differing stones so that the weathering would >>accentuate, not minimize<< the variations in the facade (say), that's what I'd like to do. Say, did I tell everyone that I got into the Architectural Association, but then I broke up with the Architectress who convinced me to become an architect? I don't think Ken Frampton would have liked those ideas.
