Welcome Friend+++++
This is a collection of thoughts on an Architectural Thesis in progress.+++++++ Please comment, all input in any form is sincerely appreciated.
This thesis on architecture is about defining an architectural practice, one that is personal and unique through the idea of Code.
For organizational purposes it is divided into three basic categories; Aesthetics, Economics, and Logistics. These three areas are what I see as the basic driving factors of any architecture. To further define these areas;
----- Aesthetics deal with sensibility and inspiration. It is the part of architecture that makes one feel. It is about space, materiality and aspects of architecture that require the senses to perceive. In a world without consequences or constraints this may be all that's required to make architecture. Aesthetic code can be seen as the relationships between qualities and parts, between spaces and things.
----- Economics are the limitations and opportunities from society that impact building and working. It includes financial considerations, safety, wealth distribution, property rights, and sustainable design. Codes such as the building code are rules that restrict certain designs while encouraging others.
------Logistics deal with process and technique in creation of both the design and the building. It is about organization and management. It is about the tools and the ways in which architects manipulate them to produce results. Logistic code is about the way in which computers have an increasing role in dealing with these aspects such as the way in which programming will change design.
