Michael Young

Michael Young, an architect, educator, and founder of Young & Ayata, dives into the evolving relationship between aesthetics and architecture in his insightful discussion. He explores the diminishing role of aesthetics in modern practice and connects it to the Beaux-Arts tradition. Delving into concepts like poche, entourage, and mosaic, Young argues for the importance of renderings alongside traditional drawings. He analyzes how digital images and montage practices reshape architectural representation and discusses the implications of photogrammetry in design.
