| summary |
The increasing use of digital tools within the architectural curriculum dictates a necessity for critically approaching technology beyond its perception as a ‘tool’, towards the creation of a ‘method’. This paper proposes the use of discrete components, such as biology, computation and fabrication to build theoretical frameworks which inform design ‘experiments’ inviting the participation of the end-user through incorporation of kinetic devices. This is discussed with reference to a recently designed course, making an attempt to assess its strengths and potential as they relate to integration. |
