Subject:

Architecture

Description:

Construction systems and material selection must be a generative process not a reactive application. What are the possibilities for the Depth of Surface to exploit the tension between internal criteria and external forces & context? The fundamental issues of buildability must be driven by a sense of 'what do you want to see?' as well as the pragmatic - with the detail reinforcing, not diluting, the whole. How can overall composition, form, performance and structure of building envelope come together (via detail) within a specific conceptual context? (Y)Credits: 3
