Project 1: Diagramming Architectural Principles
This assignment focuses on diagramming architectural principles through the process of abstracting and simplifying ideas for easy comprehension. It involves investigating how architecture and spaces are created from design intentions and architectural elements, such as solids, planes, lines, and frames. The use of pure and diagrammatic models to express architectural ideas is emphasized. Upon completion, a deeper understanding of these concepts should be achieved, enabling their application in subsequent projects.
And so we chose telegraph pole house to construct our study on.
