ARCHITECTURAL SYNTHESIS

…At the heart of architectural invention is the act of designing,

the activity par excellence of the architect.

In this act, the architect addresses the future, seeking the visual idea

that will accommodate and express the function of his building...

1. Form , Function, and Materialization

1.1. What we have learned about form, function, and materialization.

1.1.1. Form:Seeking geometrical order and expression of formal qualities

1.1.2. Function: Seeking adequate performance and expression of spaces

1.1.3. Materialization: Seeking adequate performance and expression of

material elements

1.2. Design is a balancing act: wishing versus needing

1.1.3. MATERIALIZATION: SEEKING ADEQUATE PERFORMANCE AND EXPRESSION OF MATERIAL ELEMENTS

The materialization of the is the

creation of the physical shell around the building spaces.

This materialization is concerned with the relationships between:
