corporate identity: straitjacket or catalyst? /// From the early eighties on, architects seem slowly to have offered their social responsibility
on the altar of postmodernism. By now, many of them have conformed to the wishes of international business without scruples. Does
this mean there is a Faustian pact that smothers the authentic creativity of the architecture? Or can professional builders, contrary to the
restrictions that are imposed on them in the daily practice, drive their profession and their vision to new heights? Is the cursed corporate
identity of a client a straitjacket or a catalyst?
