Our future
It is 100 years later in future, and people are living happily. Cities are well managed, buildings are green, animals and human are living together without destroying their habitats.
However, this is only a false sanctuary. The trees and animals are all fake and they are living in cities that are covered by domes which stood up in deserts.
Earth is not habitable anymore, because of the jealousness of their ancestors. Over logging has caused desertification over the world, where air pollution and nuclear waste has made people unsuitable to expose to the harmful environment.
Turning back in time, their ancestors, us, is the main reason creating this desperate future. We were living in a comfortable and convenient society, but we still were not satisfied with it. We continued to exploit the resources which are reserved for the future, thinking that it is improving the quality of our society, but neglecting the consequences of the future.
We no longer remember our past because we want advancement. And we are destroying our future. It may not be noticed now, but it slowly leads to the desperate future that is unavoidable.
Returning to future, the energy resources are starting to run out as well. The lights start to dim. Without electricity’s support, the fake trees and animals disappear and the dome starts to break. As a result, the people inside is exposed to the true outer world and they cannot resist the pollution.
Is that what we want for our future? A false comfort which could end in any moment in our future? Or sacrifice a little of our current lifestyle for a better one?
Our only way to stop, or slower, this situation is to stop our wastefulness in the society. As we care more about our environment, we could still archive a sustainable future.

We are currently living in a comfortable and convenient society. However, we are still not satisfied with it. We continued exploiting our resources for a better living, thinking that it is doing good for the society, but neglecting the consequences of the future. Desertification, global warming, pollution…..are all the problems faced as a result of our jealousness.
We no longer remember our past because we want advancement. And we are destroying our future. It may not be noticed now, but sooner or later, we will all suffer.
If we could turn back in time, we could start everything again. However, it is not possible.
Our only way to stop, or slower, this situation is to stop our wastefulness in the society. As we care more about our environment, we could still archive a sustainable future.
The question is, which choice is better? A false comfort that threatens our future; or sacrifice a little of our current lifestyle for a better future?

A New Twist on Architecture
Horn, Miriam
U.S. News & World Report; Jul 18, 1988; 105, 3; ABI/INFORM Global
pg. 40
The term deconstruct could be understood as the act to disassemble or to break down an object or idea, either to destroy the object or idea completely, or to create new meanings that could be relevant or totally irreconcilable to the original.
In the article, deconstructive architecture has the meaning of breaking down the form of the ordinary building styles, that is, straight lines and flat facades. Therefore, deconstructive architecture is aimed to oppose the current modern architecture. They think that simplicity is no longer needed and architecture has to be expressive.
An architecture that is crazy is in fact very human, because we are all crazy-- Wigley
Deconstruct is a way to create. However, it is doubtful that this way of changing is good for our future.The free expression of deconstructive architecture also leads to the forming of buildings that are too subjective, and becoming a work of art which intrudes with the surrounding context. What the critics fear about this type of style is that it does not only deconstruct the way of designing in architecture, but also our own tradition and cultural history as well. The same situation also applies to technological advancement. The progression of human lifestyles is sacrificing our traditions, not mentioning the limited resources that are reserved for our future.
