Innovative Architecture

This thesis by Constantin Spiridonidis and Maria Voyatzaki, present the meaning of innovation in architecture. All architectural development in time is based upon the critical questioning of some aspects of the preexistent and established formal expressions and of their underlying values and principles. There can be no architectural creation without overcoming the existent, without remodeling, reorganizing or reconstructing, to a certain extent, the established; that is to say, there is no architecture without innovation.
