Exploring and experimenting with modes of writing might be one of the most crucial ingredients in the development of research by design as writing is a crucial tool to develop critical counterpoints to the work being performed. The course aims at developing a sensitivity and control over your own language and to train the capacity for taking on the role of the critic inrelation to your own project.

Construing and Representation

Time: The course will begin with a workshop on Feb 5^th-6th 2004

This course focuses on architecture as topological and material configurations focusing on central aspects such as scale, relation, resistance, activation, reaction and interaction. The participants’ on-going research and projects will be the point of departure for discussions and experiments. The course relates to the project seminar Architecture in Transformation.
