Wildetecture design sight through the ether - Umkhomba

Cape Town is a dynamic perfect fusion of craft food , creative design energy, nature and radically diverse cultures - It really has an incredible creative energy. It is to my mind quiet possibly one of the best places to come up with creative conceptual design ideas. Why? Because to my mind the best human inspired creative concepts are passed through the all and the diverse. Cultures that fixate on pure blood endemic control dynamics, box themselves in. 

I was invited to look at a design for a 90 seat restaurant. Set in the cape mountains with spectacular views over a pristine Cape beach. - The first point of design departure with a site like this for me is the nature and the deep history of the site.

These roughed out sketches of the design are starting to take shape - A long way to go still - but slowly the design sight becomes clearer through the misty ether. Fynbos wild architectural flower inspired structural  dynamics.

The drama of the roof landscape and wild organic design is pure wild Wildetecture conceptual style. 

The architectural design purists will go on about grids, big box, small box architecture and extreme heritage policing. They might even say this is all nothing new really. And they will be correct to their interpretation, perspective and understanding. Im just thankful we also do have other perspectives as well. Now that AI is going to supercede and relentlessly try work on copying all human past artistic endeavors, our design creative glass ceiling height looks to be exploded. Im going to definetly be one who tries obliterating that ceiling and focus rather on human creative outcomes. Perhaps enhanced by AI but not ever allowing my design approach to be controlled by it. I am no AI design zealot.  Im not an AI design purist outcomes fan. AI prompt desciples scoffing and watching limited human creative minds create!! In simple terms i dont think AI is my big answer to my solutions. Its a useful tool, but its a tool of a mindset that gives over autonomous control to that which can coersively hold sway over all my freedom. 

Dont ever stop designing, being creative because a machine can create in one point two seconds what you perceive in days or years, a lifetime perhaps. How ever it will never ever be you. A very powerful element on earth is human creative thoughts. Dont let any charlatan machine or coersive control minder tell you otherwise. Dont drink the cool aid and start to believe the mars in 10 yrs hype. Simply get busy designing, creating and artistically expressing yourself!! The thin spider web threads of control are spinning, layering & shackling. Soon policing will be a drone execution of an innocent by a programmed bot with no mercy. Coersive control starts with wonderful creative artistic solutions. Ends with a very few controlling the vast many. A pimpled junkfood infused drone pilot holding sway over your destiny.
