Architect and academic, Theo Dounas, explores the essential qualities of Constructivism in this barnstorming essay. Exploring constructivism’s great achievements: the notion that one can create architectonic utopias; the confidence that argument and experimentation is inherently creative; the idea that one can be shamelessly playful and inherently productive at the same time; the liberation that many opinions should be given vent in a critically engaging environment. These are the necessary dynamics that Constructivism teaches us.
