Architectural inspiration is a strange thing. There are many different schools of thought dedicated to how a buildings form should create itself; whether we go back to Peter Eisenmann and Superstudios infinite grids; Rem Koolhass and his use of program to create form; MAD and their architectural objects. Inspiration can come from infinite places, no one is right or wrong (hence why debate continues) but I'd say that this is beneficial to the practice. Lively debate over form or program is what architects, student, and professors are constantly discussing at critiques, at their desks, or over a cup of coffee with a coworker. I bring this up because I wanted to share a great series of TED Talks about architectural inspiration.
My blog earlier about the grid falls into this category of "inspiration". The grid I certainly would not say is my main focus but one of many. Architects and designers usually spend their entire careers developing their own inspiration and it constantly changes but here are a few great architects of our time discussing theirs on a variety of projects.
Enjoy
