ABSTRACT
This chapter examines design processes and their architectural manifestations resulting from these profound lessons and realizations. The projects and ideas discussed in this chapter point to how the design process changes to be inclusive of the next generation of architects and users that will inherit buildings. The arguments architects make now, the quality they invest in projects built today, will define how hard it will be for future generations to uncover current logics of construction, to understand their intentions, to share its value, and make argument to save that work. Buildings seldom belong to their architects, so contemplating their life after design also prompts a humility to speak to future generations of architects through the language of their work. The frequency within which architecture needs to absorb change can be defined by birth cohorts, financing of construction through mortgages, the average life span of materials, all of which are complicated by the increasingly shorter cycles of obsolescence in communication technology.
