Abstract of the Research Paper:

If we are to recognize that life and architecture are part of a larger phenomenon of nature and the cosmos, we would realize that they are part of a never-ending process of creation or the process of becoming. This process is continuously fed by various inherent contradictions. The constant struggle to deal with these dual tendencies is essential to ‘existence’ in the larger sense. Hence, the notion of ‘long lasting architecture’ in the context of the perennial ‘process of becoming’, itself has an inherent paradox.

 

Today, we are part of a network culture driven by digital network technology. Over the last 20 years or so, it has shaped the dynamics of contemporary society creating a whole new set of relationships which now drive the world. We live in a state of paradox in trying to deal with the unprecedented contradictions posed by this shift. Our frame of mind is desperately struggling and swaying between simultaneous conflicting tendencies.
