According to Garry Miley, "The language that was deform the international movement and modern style is that way to create important space is use light think about how we move though space and how geometry can create truly interesting space." Ultimately, an architect-led design/build team will render the best results for everybody involved. Whether it’s a team of independent design and build professionals or one integrated design/build company, this approach to team building and project leadership becomes a win-win situation for everyone involved, particularly the client. Major architectural movements of the last half-century, including the way pop art influenced both postmodernism and what became the hi-tech architecture of Richard Rogers, Renzo Piano and Norman Foster which then led to a "global style" of steel and glass, more or less the same everywhere. In the case of Rogers, this global style takes the form of "pop civics" The design of the house goes against the traditional codes of residential architecture, instead it is a representation of a new vision in the form of functional architecture. Vertical circulation is facilitated by ramps as well as stairs and the geometry of the house is designed to ensure that as people move through the spaces they experience the harmony between the architectural forms and the play of light. There are, nevertheless, consolations: Foster is appreciative of, for example, "the mixed condition" in the work of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, by which he means their combinations of art, video and architecture, and of the new park of the High Line with the old viaduct on which it is formed. Despite worrying that they "might be a front for capitalist modernity", he sees the possibility that they might "not simply smoothen". The age-old-question of “Who should I hire first” still remains, and the response depends on who is being asked.Builders should prioritize working with talented architects rather than those who will compliantly play second fiddle to them. Similarly, architects should decline working with a builder whom the architect feels does not meet certain standards of quality and professionalism. Regardless of who recommends whom, the builder should yield the leadership of the project to the architect.
