Buildings, Drawings, Objects, and Tectonics

In this section we discussed tectonics as a topic of interest. We evaluated tectonics through four topics: Problem (What), Context (Where), Technique (How), and Theory (Why). The aim of thesis is to create a body of work that acts in parallel with traditional architectural contingencies such as site, program, precedents, codes, politics, and social engagement; while also focusing on individual authorship, form, representation, and theory. Students worked independently to build their own individual thesis and research throughout the semester.
