As The Machine in Architectural Thinking depicts, mechanisation has been taken to refer to the designs and movements which imposed the machine and the machine made look as “the chief aesthetic prototypes of the twentieth century”(Lefaivre, L & Tzonis, A 1985). The connection between the machine and architectural thinking has been massively adopted in building technology, therefore the machine-like buildings are more and more common. But think about this, what was the first machine-like building think what he is? People may not question this because buildings are meant to be built, whatever the outward appearance looks like as long as people need and like them. Consequently, the changes between the buildings are following the architectural thinking, the thinking of the architect. But no one knows what the building think if they have a real life. There is nothing too strange in this vast world, one day, maybe a building will start questioning his appearance, maybe a building will start doubting the connection between machine and architecture, maybe the thing is not simple as what we visualize.
