Developable Enclosure
Toni Kotnik

Intermediate - Spring 2010

16 Morwell Basement
Mondays, 10am-1pm

 

The historian Robbin Evans has pointed out that geometry is one subject, architecture another, but there is geometry in architecture. Its presence is assumed much as the presence of mathematics is assumed in physics, or letters in words. The course will take up this intimate relationship and look for the architectural potential of geometry within the design it is embedded in. Using geometric problems related to individual unit work we will be examine formal systems and their phenomenological behavior through Rhinoscript and Grasshopper. The goal is the integration of the investigation into your projects that is the course will act as a geometric consultation in support of the unit brief.
