9:29 Conclusion (Justify Form in architecture)
Discover how these perspectives shape contemporary design, from iconic structures by Frank Gehry to classical influences seen in Glenn Murcutt's work.
But the conversation doesn't stop there. We delve into a third faction of architects striving to merge functionality with expression. Is there a definitive answer to this age-old question, or does the truth lie in a delicate balance? We look at the following works and how they achieved form through thought-provoking concepts

Graz Theater and Mercedes Benz Meuseum / UNstudio
Thorncrown Chapel / Fay Jones
Join us as we challenge traditional notions and redefine the role of architecture in today's world. It's time to reimagine what it means to design spaces that inspire, function, and endure. Let's embark on this journey together and shape the future of architecture.
