Task Outline

'Firmness, Commodity, and Delight':: the ultimate synthesis.

This project aims to establish a understanding that architectural design is informed through the availability and analysis of exemplary knowledge.  It is assumed that influences established through the consumption of theoretical and historical literature, and the subsequent practice of precedent selection, is essential to the ongoing study of architecture. 

Three aspects will be used in the project to help underpin the understanding of architectural excellence:

• A house is an environmental filter
• A house is a container of human activities
• A house is a delightful experience

Project 1 also includes observation and analysis exercises, contributing and leading to an integrated design of a cabin for an architect. 

This project is run from Weeks 1 to 5, and is broken down into 3 specific and assessable components:

• Project 1 Part A :: Archetype :: Archetype Research
• Project 1 Part B :: Analysis :: Analysis of Architetype
• Project 1 Part C :: Application :: Application o Analysis

Each will be presented in the following blog
