Hagy Belzberg, AIA, Belzberg Architects, relates his firm’s efforts to include new technologies, like CNC milling, and new materials into architectural design. For Mr. Belzberg, innovative techniques offer a “completely different approach to spatial experience.” Using his ground-breaking work on the Patina Restaurant at the Walt Disney Concert Hall as an example, Mr. Belzberg emphasizes the didactic value of built architecture to bringing physicality to abstract design concepts and the latest in design methods. He discusses how projects evolve with both technology and theory to support the poetics of the architectural work.
