Philip Johnson's perspective may suggest that constructing architecture inevitably alters natural environments, and it is an art to do so thoughtfully and responsibly. The architect's work often involved a deep consideration of the landscape and how buildings interact with their surroundings. For instance, his Glass House integrates seamlessly with its natural setting, using transparent walls to minimize the boundary between the built environment and nature. This approach reflects an understanding of the 'waste' not as destruction, but as a transformation that respects and enhances the natural space. With this quote Johnson emphasizes the architect's responsibility to create structures that honor and complement their natural context, making the 'waste' of space a deliberate and meaningful act.

Zaha Hadid and Karl Lagerfeld inside the Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion, 2008.
A rare moment where parametric architecture meets haute couture. Hadid’s futuristic pavilion—composed of 700 unique fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels—served as a traveling exhibition space celebrating Chanel’s iconic 2.55 handbag. Lagerfeld envisioned a mobile museum; Hadid delivered a biomorphic structure that toured cities worldwide, including Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York.

Architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano in front of their iconic Centre Pompidou in Paris, captured in 2017 by photographer Martin Bureau. Nearly 50 years after its completion, the building still disrupts the architectural norm—its exoskeletal structure, exposed services, and radical transparency making it a landmark of high-tech design.
