Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe idea of two elements overlapping to create a third element is a very simple idea, yet one imbued with possibility. It can be as simple as two colors combining to create a new color: yellow + blue = green. This new, third element can stand alone, but it always retains traces of the two original elements. This third element is enriched by the two primary elements, and they, in turn, are enriched by this connection. 1 + 1 = 3 The place where two elements come together can become an integral part of both elements. It can become a central space where ideas meet and intermingle. In such a way, a school of architecture and design centers around its studio. The studio is, for the student, the place where living and learning come together. Here, the practicality of materials meets the theoretical concepts of the classroom. It is often, quite literally, "home away from home" for the student, who spends many hours working on studio projects, gathering with students and faculty, trying to bring design theories into practice. With this idea in mind, a Girls' School of Design is postulated.
