CONTENT

Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings. Buildings are characterized by features that make them historically identifiable categorized as styles. Styles include aspects such as form, function, method of construction, materials, and local/regional character. Architecture is classified within a chronology of styles which changes over time reflecting respective ideologies, fashions, beliefs, technologies, and materials.

APROACH

Architectural embodiments as tangible and visible forms of ideas are defined in the context of the design studio as variations derived from one architecture. Based on analysis and reflection on Neil Denari’s space separator students will develop variations of it as their own designs. Alternative function, form, method of construction and materials are speculated upon. Considering that the supporting frame is made of welded aluminium and the skin is made of moulded fiberglass the students are encouraged to speculate about possible alternative materials (wood, bamboo, stone, glass, etc.) and their impact on design. Furthermore, they are encouraged to speculate on alternative functionalities and forms.

Architectural Design I: Culture and Society: Analysis of structural situations with regard to history, culture and society and their interaction with human needs Measure of Man: Studies on the development of space and form in relation to human behavior patterns and motion sequences.
