Get With This or Get With That

What I understood from our discussion from class and the reading "Notes around the Doppler Effect and other Moods of Modernism" is that there is a gap from critical to projective architecture and it can be viewed as a Doppler Effect like symptom. This can best be illustrated as architecture moving like a sound wave in the direction of projective while leaving critical behind, but still relevant. I think that it is becoming more and more evident that architecture is responding to elements and phenomenons in context versus a building making a statement of itself. This can be seen with the collaboration of ideas in offices and considering sustainable, contextual, elegant architecture. While there is still place for critical architecture and it can be seen in more urban contexts, it is increasingly less common. Again, because of the collaboration that happens in the creative design process with a much larger professional practice then what existed years ago. With this, I think that architecture is becoming more responsive to environments but also at times losing taste and becoming repetitive. If I am understanding this all correctly, I think the two are both very important in design with projective architecture being primary and critical becoming complimentary.
