gosplan believes in architecture as a mass medium. As such, architecture is the production of forms, a narrative about space. Like any medium, architecture is not defined by the message it occasionally conveys—whether environmental sustainability, functional programming, or authorial intent—but by its ability to establish new connections: links between forms, ideas, and people. An architecture that is aware of its role as a medium understands how to evaluate its impact on the world, because a medium always connects two different realities.

gosplan believes in architecture as the result of labor – which is applied knowledge – and of study, which is an intellectual form of labor. The idea of architecture as the product of some lone creative genius is a myth. Instead, it comes from a collective effort that brings together industrial products and handmade elements, relying on the collaboration of a whole community.

gosplan believes in architecture—even if it can’t save the world. Still, like literature in the realm of the written word and music in the realm of sound, architecture creates a kind of exception within the built environment. We recognize it because it forces us to become aware of who we are. And that’s where every revolution begins.
