FRUGALITY, the new series of a+t magazine, on sale now!
Environmental responsibility and constructive sincerity as project aims
May 20, 2024
Frugality means less material, less energy, less expense, greater respect for the environment, greater constructive sincerity, and greater social honesty.
Frugality is not imposed by social or cultural movements, or even by political transformations. It is the pure awareness of the moment of restriction and deprivation that conditions the way of acting. Frugality is dismantling the iconic and symbolic character of architecture. It imbues it with a basic rationality, a new classicism without style, standardised technology, and programmatic flexibility.
The first issue of this new series is entitled Abstraction and Responsibility, the essential features of this frugal architecture whose sole aim is to become a structure-shelter of life.
