In 'Copy Paste. The Badass Architectural Copy Guide' Winy Maas, in collaboration with The Why Factory, explores the possibilities of copying in architecture. New! A new face! A new style! There is a cult of newness around the world. Also in architecture, where architects fight each other with innovation and originality. The Why Factory does things differently and in Copy Paste explores the possibilities of copying in architecture. What are actually still truly original ideas in architecture? Isn't it better to ask what someone adds to the given repertoire and evaluate that? In science, it is very common to define originality in that respect. Such an attitude seems to be a taboo in architecture. Now is the time to put an end to this obsessive pursuit of unique authorship. The Why Factory brings together viewpoints on the dilemma of copying in architecture, along with the ethical and legal imperatives. A versatile guide to copying, this book explores the possibilities through a broad set of scenarios using a variety of tools.
