OVERVIEW
The studio will focus on the understanding of architecture through a constructed environment and specific structural principals. Assembly, structure and connection, the root of tectonic discourse will be conceptualized through specific design processes. Implicit in the process of construction is the layering of numerous system; primary, secondary and tertiary. The studio will consider ways in which to organize, synthesize and manipulate these systematic hierarchies through generally accepted construction and manufacturing approaches. Issues of systematically, repetition, lamination and spatialization will each be explored through two structural typologies forming the core of design research and the principle of tectonic examination.
