David Chang
February 20, 2011
Here is a link to his 2008 Charlie Rose interview - http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/9181. If we take David Chang at his word that when he opened his first place that the goal was not authenticity nor originality but simply to put out "tasty and delicious food" - that he wasn't setting out to win awards, accolades and open a small restaurant empire that would change the way we think about restaurants - then that is the model for my practice.My goal is not to be ground breakingly original or experimental nor to stridently be authentic in regional architectural traditions but to put out simply "tasty" architecture - to make small changes to peoples lives and make them smile a little. From such a modest goal can come something amazing through small, cumulative interventions into our built environment.
