| New Architecture in Japan: beyond Modernism ?
The objective of this course of applied research is to stimulate the critical and analytical comprehension of the architectural and theoretical production of the new generation of japanese architects (Sanaa, Fujimoto).
The methodology of the course is based on a dual approach (theoretical and practical).
The theoretical analysis is focussing on a critical reading of writings from/on the architects.
The practical analysis (formal, spatial, exploratory analysis of design processes/strategies) is made by means of models, diagrams, and visual documents.
The cours is conceived as a critical research studio. |
