PREAMBLE TO THE DESIGN METHODS

This project proposes to question architectural process by setting a new relation to formal iteration. Non-linear processes are inevitable as we are caught wandering and questioning a usually complex set of topics within one moment.

Embracing non-linear processes often results in a loss of clarity within an architectural discourse : on the other hand, the complexity of knowledge remains at its fullest, which provides a solid and vast set of ideas and concept for the development of a project.

Non-linear processes are not entwined to a singular result or design but rather to a variety of formal productions. Henceforth, it leans on narrative as these can gather a multiplicity of ideas that are not bounded to architectural language. Narrative thus infuses the process with new intrinsic ideas which will later be retained through the morphing into formal explorations.

Finally, plurality and changes are here seen as beneficial to the overall project richness while enabling an exploration of ourselves as a way to construct selfconvictions and procedures to be later pursued.
