reading_system

When we use the word ‘system’, it usually brings many miscommunications without explanation. Because of its multi-meaning, it could be interpreted differently depending on situation and context.

In these three readings also have different uses of word ‘system’. In Swill Re headquarters, system means something about functional working. It contains mechanical meaning with environmental circulation. However, in unwarranted apology, system means closer to mechanics. It means how the building works and it focused on how the structure could work with design. And the other article, ‘spaceship earth’ said system is total formation. It said system is the starting point that makes the space and it should be well organized not to be ruined.

System means basically well organized structure. To design well composed space, we need system. It could mean circulation, structure or way of function. Even though we usually mix-use the word, it is usually understandable because it goes to total composition.

However, in this comprehension, we also usually overlook the system. To accomplish the design, architects force to make structure or space to sacrifice. They divide the useless or unmeaning space, even though they knew the fact, and designers said they had no choice for the concept of system. In this case, even though system is function, we use it as a word. And between this gap, architects could make mistakes to pick the system.
