Shape Grammar - Thoughts on usage and pedagogy (Revised)
This revised essay examines Shape Grammar, a computational method that identifies and manipulates geometric forms during design. While valuable for analysing historical architecture, it cannot explain why architects made design choices—only how their patterns work. I argued that Shape Grammar requires integration with architectural history and theory for effective use and teaching.
MArch Thesis Series 01 - Foundations
I completed my Master Thesis in Architecture years ago, but only recently found time to revisit its arguments and theoretical explorations. This series is that reflection, written to clarify my own thinking and preserve it, lest it fade. Part 01 returns to the foundations of the discipline, or at least, my understanding of it. This first article investigates my foundational understanding of architecture.
