Riba to open chapter in India

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) have announced that they will open a chapter in India in 2015 in order to offer “enhanced membership support, networking opportunities and a forum for local activities and CPD.” It will also allow the RIBA to work “collaboratively with the Indian Institute for Architects (IIA) for the enhancement of the profession.” The launch of this branch of the institute follows the opening of chapters in the USA, Hong Kong and the Gulf in recent years. According to Chloe Sadler, RIBA Head of International Chapters, the RIBA currently has “just under 100 members in India who are working tirelessly to uphold the principles of the [institute] and share the importance of good design.” “This new Chapter will cement the RIBA’s commitment to support our members in India through knowledge exchange and the celebration of architecture.”

out of box design

I m always confused why designers run these parametric scripts to generate unique and interesting forms and then just cut them out of a box... why is it always a BOX there is nothing visually restricting the sides or top of this from which just makes the space read as an unimaginative box which I feel is not what the designer was going for with this process.
