Thesis For A Thesis, Marc J. Neveu

Architecture

My lecture today will question the nature of a thesis project for an undergraduate architectural education. The topic of my lecture – the nature of a thesis – is probably of concern to many of you, either presently engaged in thesis preparations or those of you who will be thinking about your topics in the next few years. I will first question the nature of what a thesis may be and then propose one approach to making a thesis. The third part of the lecture will offer two examples.

‘Installing’ A Studio-Based Collective Intelligence, Mark Cabrinha Jan 2008

‘Installing’ A Studio-Based Collective Intelligence, Mark Cabrinha

Architecture

Digital tools have had an undeniable influence on design intent, for better and worse. While the now common use of digital fabrication tools has reintroduced material processes with digital processes, they have also extended the seduction of formal novelty enabled by digital tools.This critical evaluation of three installation based studios considers how these tools can impact a wider environmental knowing. Rather than seeing the studio as a room of individuals, emphasized through the one-on-one deskcrit, these studio installations suggest a kind of collective-intelligence: progress by way of differentiation, integration, competition and collaboration. This challenges the notion of authorship of the …


Moveable Feast, Mark Cabrinha Jan 2008

Moveable Feast, Mark Cabrinha

Architecture

The Moveable Feast installation was a two week foundation project in a third year architecture studio entitled Physical Gastronomy. The pragmatic goals for the installation were to present particular material techniques and their associated values of making maximum use of minimal materials. The epistemic goals in developing an installation to host an exquisite meal was to move from an architecture of the object to an architecture of the event. Thus, shifting focus from the installation as a thing to the phenomenal and social experience of the event the installation enables. Presented here is both a sequential, day by day photographic …


The Boundaries Of A Trans-National Survey Of Asian Architectural And Urban History, Christopher Yip Jan 2008

The Boundaries Of A Trans-National Survey Of Asian Architectural And Urban History, Christopher Yip

Architecture

In constructing a survey of the architectural and urban history of traditional Asia, how would one define the edges of the region under study? This paper will argue that such a study can reasonably exclude Western Asia (also referred to as the Middle East, or the Ancient Orient), modern Siberia, much of the Indonesian Archipelago, the Philippines, Australia, and most of the Pacific Islands for various reasons, including geographic isolation, climate, and more reasonable inclusion in another architectural historical cluster. This is in part due to the definition of the core of such a study, and to the nature of …
