Hidden
The goal of the course is to teach students a method to understand, analyse and evaluate a city/site and its context. The intention is to produce tools that will be useful and applicable in Architectural Design and in professional life.
The course will focus on
As architects we never draw on blank sheets of paper; hidden lines - sometimes more, sometimes less - are always present. This course will provide students with an approach as well as with the basic tools to recognize those hidden lines.
During this semester we will cultivate the experience of looking at architecture with a different eye, focusing on the invisible links and relations between things.
Le Corbusier used to say “…one obelisque: not architecture. Two obelisques: architecture!”
Using
Architecture in context is about process, ideas, programs and passion in facing unknown contexts even more than about final products. In your work, at desk crits, and during presentations instructor and crits will be looking for evidence that you are searching and exploring the context as something new and that you listen to and respond constructively to feedback and advices from teachers and peers.
