He explains that to architects, unique architecture mostly means capturing a moment or context in a way that hasn’t been (commonly) seen before. “Whether providing a surface on which the reflection of water ripples can fall or designing with a material that allows the transmission of the sound of the rain when it falls. Moments like these are unique because they’re fairly uncommon, but they also pull people more deeply into the architecture they’re inhabiting.” He further explains, “The idea that standing out as a goal in itself can be extremely dangerous to architects. There’s a lot of bad design (environmentally damaging, non-functional, unattractive) out in the world because an architect wanted to “stand out.” However, standing out can also be a great thing. Being honored for work that benefits a family or community and also works in concert with the environment is another way architects can stand out. Yes, it’s difficult to do that, but it’s also not a bad goal to have.” To celebrate Polly’s 35th birthday as a part of their iconic series, Airbnb has created a 42-foot-tall replica of her compact house.
