Development Workshop
Overview:
What drawings and/or models or other constructions are crucial to develop and refine the project?What techniques of drawing or modeling allow you to deeply understand the physical qualities of materials and/or systems and gain control over a process of composing with them ?
For next week make a serious attempt to produce those process drawings or models.
Instructions:
Today we will identify these crucial developmental platforms and their potential in rounds of 20 min exchanges.
Framing questions:
Why and Who would find this work to be meaningful , significant, impactful, or relevant? Is this project design-based research to build capacities or enable subsequent work? Is it a theoretical or didactic model of an idea or proposition? Is it a proposal for some specific context, client, community or site? What crucial question or hypothesis is at stake? Where is the site of this project, is it literal or imaginary, is it geographical or theoretical?
What are the active physical ingredients of the project. (Site elements, materials, systems, forces, energies, etc.) ?
How do techniques of drawing or modeling help you understand and elaborate on the nuances of those active ingredients and help you to compose with them to generate a range of possible outcomes, effects, aesthetics, etc?
