So not necessarily the best solution.<br /><br />Inspiration is derived when there is a situation - There was a Solution by someone - A person understands the structure &amp; approach of solution &amp; tries to solve his situation. So inspiration is a sort of Evolution where you learn from others Good or Bad and avoid reinventing the wheel again.Prathameshhttp://www.prathamesh.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514762.post-26909838652300607442009-09-10T17:25:04.865+02:002009-09-10T17:25:04.865+02:00To the question does originality preserve identity I would answer no. I think originality is overrated. You don&#39;t need to be original to be unique. True virtuosity often entails the variation of a well-known theme.<br /><br />I believe that transparency is key. A copy can become a citation. But of course there are limits to this argument ...<br /><br />I am working on an open architecture project on a different level. These are very good questions.

And some questions remain: <br /><br />What does it mean for the space, when it is dominated by the building, identical to another one in the different context? <br /><br />What does this automatic relation give? <br /><br />Is originality valuable or even obligatory in every case? <br /><br />Can it preserve identity?cloohttp://dooo.domenas.net/cloonoreply@blogger.com
