Design Explorations 1

Case Studies – Investigations Into Architectural Knowledge. Selective architectural works will be deconstructed in order to uncover the knowledge invested in them. Case studies will be subjected to modes of inquiry that will reveal their deep content from conception to realization, including the mental frameworks of the designers, the methods of representation, the technological knowledge employed, the methods of production, and the ingrained cultural values, to develop methods of inquiry that will enable them to pursue similar investigations of any architectural work. Fall term annually.
