Studio Description
Semester Theme: Part and Whole
A system is a set of connected things or parts. What distinguishes one system from another is a unique organization of relationships between parts. These components when brought together into a set of meaningful relationships may form an integrated whole. If these parts are material and systems become adaptive, they may be re-organized by physical constraints and internal relationships causing these material systems to evolve.
The theme of the fall semester is to consider the notion of part and whole relationships and how they relate to architectural issues of scale, spatial organization and effects, material connection, and relation to human scale and proportion. Between material, concept, and desire, it is anticipated that students will learn how to leap from an idea to architectural representation. The result of this investigation, in the form of models and drawings, demonstrate the emergence of character derived from a synthesis of dynamic formal strategies, tectonic systems, and material qualities.
