Inquiries of a designer

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Architecture is a discipline which requires the recognition of its cyclic pattern of learning where a young architect must have the competence and confidence to make. While he also must be prepared to look at the results critically and to start the cycle over at the beginning, with confidence and joy in the understanding of the process. This project is an attempt to take a section across one of these cycles in the life of an architect. The project explores a set of questions ranging from pure theory about meaning in architecture, to the understanding of site and place, to ideas about the possibility of the use of the tectonic as a critical language for architecture.
